If you can leave the floor brace intact do so. You will need to drill the spot welds. Did you buy the replacement pan? It will help you determine how much room you have to cut.

Passenger side is near perfect. I cut out the most significant damage ( at the intersection of the toe board & floor pan), I think rot started at the overlapping seam. But there is a bit more damage than that also. I posted pics of progress at photobucket and included my "plans" in the comments under the pics. I would apprecite your ideas & input on what I've done so far. I'll be asking detail questions (mostly welding stuff) as I progress. -- Rick Schaefer 72 TPI El Camino
