Ok got the rest of the tunnel and floor pans removed just need clean up around the edges which I am sure is the hardest part. But a new wrinkle presented its self when I got to the drivers side.
First there is no front clip on this body so the dash is only being supported by door pillars and rocker panels. So how would you suggest I support the front.
Second the crosmember across the body mounts under the dash has a crease in it on the drivers side right above the body mount hole. Shouled I replace it, thinking I should and again how would I support the front dash, firewall while I replace that cross member.
Third the front plate on the seat platforms are rusty and my floor pans don't have lips up to connect there so I have decided to measure 1/2 down from top and cut each side flush and get some straight sheet metal and cut out a new piece while bending a flap on the bottom to weld the floor pans too. Only question I have is should I weld this new front flap in behind that half inch flap or in front or not do the half in flap and put a send bend on the piece I cut out and go over top of the floor pans with a half inch lip?
