Hey everyone, awhile ago I said I was going to post pictures of my floorpan job. I did one side and then was gone for a month and just finished the other side. This was my first real attempt at panel replacement. Basically what I did was to use a spot weld cutter on a cordless drill to drill out the spot welds on the outside and rear edges then cut along the trans tunnel and front edges. Then I left an overlap at the cut edges and used self drilling sheetmetal screws to hold the pan in place every 2-4". Then I just stitch welded in between the screws on the edge, removed the screws and filled the holes with the welder. For the spot welds on the crossmembers I just drilled 3/8" holes in the pan over them and filled the holes with the welder. Finally I used seam sealer on the edges. One thing to note, I shopped around a bunch for the pans. As you can see from the pics I did the front 3/4 length and the middle pieces. I bought mine from ADEALS auto parts. I have bought a bunch of stuff from him, after you add shipping he has always been the best price for my stuff, and always gets it out to me quickly. I can't remember how much I saved over year one but I believe it was well over $100, almost $200 if I remember right. Anyways, hope this helps anyone considering doing their pans.
