Here’s where she sits. I can no longer put both fenders on since I have to fix that panel first.

So apparently my dad did a SH###Y job of installing the floor pans in this car. All he did was cut some holes. Line it up and just over lap everything. There was a big gap between. The trans tunnel crossover and the flow pan. Should I cut out more metal and but then and weld them? Is that how typical floor pans get installed? I’ve never done them. Thanks in advance

So here’s where I run into my issue (wich is why I’m re-doing this in the first place. But I have a hide gap in between the floor pan and the crossmember. Is this normal when installing the floor pans? Or do I need to cut around the metal around here to get it to sit down flush so I can weld to the crossmember?

Got the floor pans down better. Just used a self tapping sheet metal screw to pull the panel down onto the frame. Worked pretty well. Started with the door area then worked my way over. Looks much better I think. I’ll clean everything up and shoot some pics later. I worked on the thing for what seemed like an hour and a half and ended up being about 4 lol

Time flies when you're having... fun? lol
Lol it’s seriously does. But yeah that pans looks SO much better underneath. I bought a new Milwaukee 18v grinder and holy crap this thing is a saving grace. I have a nice compressor and grinding wheels, but it doesn’t do justice to the electric grinder. It’s a frekin beast

I overlapped about an inch over. Smaller distances in some areas as wel. Just depends.
