So I took a trip back down to the sandblaster to clean up the center sections of the floors. These sections bolt in, which make it easy to remove for transmission bolt removal...I guess whatever else you wanna do down there. Unfortunately, the sandblasting not only took off 40 layers of paint, but exposed the weak metal under the gas pedal / area where the right foot would be. I opted to cut that section out and replace with fresh metal, which was a pain considering how thin the metal was here.
Here we're marked and ready to cut.
Here the spot welding is done on the center section. It will need to be seam sealed to fill in the little holes as this piece is impossible to weld 100%. I'll end up riveting this piece down so if it does need to be removed, you can just drill the rivets out. I might bolt it down...I haven't 100% decided yet. Lots of welding to do over on this side, but the overall pieces are mocked up, tacked up, and ready to go.
