It has been some time since my last post but the installation of the floor pans is now complete. My friend Paxton has done an amazing job. His welds are near perfect. I pity the guy that finds it necessary to remove these pans. These welds are intended to be permanent.
After the welds are cleaned with a wire brush wheel, seam sealer is applied to the area between the new pan and the frame of the car. With the sealer in place, spray a light coat of primer over the welded and sealed area to highlight any imperfections that may require additional work. Grind the welds and touch-up the seam sealer as required.
After the adjacent areas are sanded and cleaned a heavy coat of epoxy primer should be applied.
The trunk pan, since it will be exposed will require more work than the interior floor pans that will be covered by carpet.
My next post will address preparation of the interior floor pans to receive the seats.
