Over the weekend we started replacing the floor pans with new metal from rock auto and got the driver side front pan almost finished. I don't have a lot of experience welding so I am getting a lot of help from my Dad, this car will give me plenty of practice to develop my welding skills. Here are some pics from this weekend:
I also found the buildsheet behind the rear seat.
There was a crack behind the back window, so we started digging. It looks like the previous owner used dry wall tape and bondo to patch a hole. I have a feeling that we will find more of these redneck patch panels around the windows from holes caused by the vinyl top.
