Ben - It's really coming along! The floor looks great... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) But man, that's a big ol' chunk of the car you cut out to fit it. Glad to see the car I parted is going to such good use.

Well its tacked in.. Pretty happy with the fit. Going be really nice once welded and ground and blended. Thanks again Chris for the huge help.. Even if I would have bought a front floor pan from RD it would have not come with the metal I needed.. So i saved about 1/4 of the orginal floor pan.. Attached Image Attached Image

Taking the grinding really slow as if you rush it the seem will be noticable .. 1st step is to take the high spots off the weld with a 4.5 " grinder. Once thats done I use a die grinder with an abrasive wheel to further knock it down.. Next step is a blending disc and then check for any pinholes..

Once this is done only have half the firewall to weld on and the jack points and then done underneath the car.. Attached Image

Are you going to install the GT stiffening panels in back as well? How about the inner longitudinal panel stiffening braces? With enough power, they might come in handy!

Took a little break from welding and grinding and put 1 head set together. I prefer to preassemble the whole assembly vs how waynes book suggests.. Attached Image
