OK!  after many hours of hacking with a hack saw and drilling (breaking
many expensive bits) and prying with large screwdrivers and hand sledges I
am about 75% done removing my drivers side floorpan and I am extatic!  I
have a very good understanding of how these pans are put together now.  By
the way before I start tearing the passenger floorpan out I will either buy
a MAPP gas torch (anyone know anything about these?)  or an oxy-acytelene
torch.   This replacement will be almost perfect.  I am now waiting to be
able to afford the new pans from Spitbits,  the ones from VB are aweful and
I don't recommend them.  This job is not as hard as it is made out to be,
but it is extremely intimidating!!  Of course I am not done with it either.
 Just thought I would share!!
