yeah? that sounds pretty good. if I can't find some reasonably priced
pieces to weld in, I'll give that a shot

thanks!

 Hey Brian
Maybe take pictures on what you are doing and plaster them on the web
someplace.

I - for one - would be very interested in seeing them, since I intend
to do the same thing when the weather clears up here in CT.

I have one of the bugme videos, showing you how to do it - should you
want to borrow it, let me know.

yeah, I do have a guy with a welder that would do it for nothin', so
that's a plus..

 My 2 cents:
If you're *restoring* an oval, weld in new high-quality (the thick ones)
floor pans. Check previous posts & you'll find the info on the best pans
(I don't have it).
If you're building a daily driver & don't care if it's original, then
rivet in some nice thick sheetmetal (aliminum or steel) & seal it with
brushable seam sealer. No need (In fact it's worse) to "seal" it with
fiberglass.
On the 1/4 panel hole, I would cut out the rust & weld in a peice of scrap
steel.

mainly because I don't want to pay twice as much for them :-p­ but I know
what you mean. I may just wait until I've got some more bread to
replace them. hmm

 Sounds reasonable... but then again my pans were SHOT I had rust every
where and the battery replacement panels were not an option.... beside I
think you're right... I did wait til i had the cash to lay out on a set of
full pans. But regardless... I am happy with the results of the full pans.
