I even did the little piece in the last shot as a seam weld. It did leave a hole everywhere I stopped but I just back tracked and got it done :dance:

All I really did was clean it up. Then I por 15'd it so no rust we hopefully bubble up from underneath. You mash up a little steel stick shove it in there and work it like wood putty and i used a little sander to smooth it flat :bump: :dance:

I discovered I'd be able to keep the crossmember attached the tunnel was a god send :th:
I just went to town with a sharp chisel and peeled the floor up with some help of some big channel locks to break pieces off.
once i had most of it pulled up i cut around with the cutoff wheel :bump:

Took the rest of my floor piece and putty knifed and wire wheeled the sealer off so I could see the pop rivets and drilled them out with a 3/8 bit and "popped" the pan off the old braces :censored:
it was a pain but no damage
next I have to trim it to fit together and a whole bunch more welding :dance:
