'74 Duster Floor pans

76orangewagon , That job you did looks pretty nice! I have similar rust in the front panels of my floor, especially on the passenger side. If I could do a job have as nice as yours looks then I'll be happy. I'm a pretty good welder so tacking it in shouldn't be a huge deal. It looks like you tacked it from the bottom as well, is this correct? The photos are a great help btw, I definitely appreciate the feedback on this question.

I put the floor pan in place and outlined all the braces from the underside of the car, then removed it and drilled several 1/4" holes that would become the spot weld area's. I had my Dad push down with a wood handled hammer one hole in front of where I was welding to get a gap free weld. Everything was welded from the top. There are several better pictures on the first few pages of my build, covering all the panel replacement in case your interested in checking them out...the link is below by my signature.
