Re: [Chevelle-list] Commited
Looking at the pics, I would clean the area very well and get a full replacement for the front driver side and cut out most of it and replace. Just because you can see some holes here and there doesn't mean that there are not other places of the pan that will rot out in time because of weak metal. Also it is easier to cut out one big piece and weld it in then try to do a couple small pieces. Dan

Re: [Chevelle-list] Commited
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.

[Chevelle-list] Commited
I commited to replacing portions of my drivers side floor pan. 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
