So i'm going to do my floor pans tomorrow with the help of my neighbor. He's a professional welder apparently and he's gonna hook me up. Anyway, should i remove the gas tank for safety reasons or is there no relative threat of explosions?
I haven't heard anyone doing that- I didn't and lived to tell about it. You should have a fire extinguisher nearby in case the undercoating goes up. Also disconnect the battery.
The hardest part of floopans is making the new pans snug down to the frame rails- use alot of screws or bolts to crank them down to the rails and then remove them one by one and plug weld that hole.
