Topic: Help w welding floors

[Joker (§ir£Ğragon)]

Also how about seperating them from the old floors?  Air chisle?  Drill out old plug welds?  I will try to post up some pictures soon.

Both. Drilling out the old welds will make it easier to separate them with the air chisel.

Drill out the spot welds holding the floor pans to the braces, you won't need an air chisel.

Let me ask this question, are you overlapping the pans on the existing metal or are you doing butt welding ( exact fit )

Not sure I dont think so.  The originals are rotted.  The car is not going to see any rain for the most part.  What are your guys's thoughts on the matter?

When your done welding, grind down the welds flush and get some brushable 3M seam sealer and brush down the welds.
This willl help to seal off any pin holes that may not be visible to the eye.
Here is a thread when I done mine.  http://www.78ta.com/smf/index.php?topic=4022.0
