ok Here is my next major project (one I am not looking forward to). I
have one of my cars stripped all the way down and unbolted from the frame.
Unfortunately I do not have enough people to lift it off. But I do need to
replace my floorpans, and The inner part of my rockers. I have seen some
of you say its best to do it on the frame but others, have told me to
replace them off the frame. I have the replacement pans that cover the
whole length of the floorpan, not just the half sized ones. What is the
best way of doing it, on/off frame, should I overlap or butt weld it (I am
very UNtalented in welding) Should I rent a MIG welder, or pay someone to
do it. How do you make sure the car is straight afterwards? I am
concerned about getting this done right and am looking forward to any input
on the best way of doing it. Thanks
