Slide hammer in action. Each side took a good number of hard hits to get close to straight.

Item #3: patching the hole in the front inner right sill, where rust ate through (fortunately from outside in). Here's the hole after cutting.

And after grinding. I was less aggressive, and left some of the weld since the sheet metal here is relatively thin.

Thanks, guys. Keeping the progress going...

Back to Item#4: the floor front corners. I decided to reshape my patches to better duplicate the original floor channels.

Here's the left side, ready to weld.

Left side welded in, and a quick grinding. A few spots to re-weld and then grind it pretty.
