Floor pan replacement. Drivers side

I decided to tackle the drivers side next. Same procedure as before.
Here we see the new floor pan and seat platform. I decided to buy new seat platforms ONLY because I butchered the old ones taking them out. Not a costly item but of course, it's adding to the cost.

Here is the underside of the floor pan where the new pan meets the tranny tunnel. Because this could be seen if anyone looks at the underside, I wanted the seem to look as flawless as possible. I used etching primer before I laid a light coat of bondo.

After sanding down the bondo you the distortion of the metal becomes evident. After another thin layer and some heavy high build primer this will look nice and seamless.


In this shot we see part of the front drivers floor pan with the floor-to-firewall panel (this was a new replacement panel) all seam welded to the front firewall and tranny tunnel. This shot was taken while standing inside the engine compartment.
