    Can it be done?

    I need to replace the driver front, passenger front, and passenger rear floor pans.  Question is: Can I replace one at a time and not have to shore up and use some means to stabilize the body of the car so there's no twisting or such?  Or must I cut out everything that needs to go, have some sort of structure supporting the car, and then address all the pans at once?

    That's how it used to be done before they had full length floorpans, and before they had full floors.  Its more work and welding to get right though.

    Just put the frame rails of the car on four jackstands, as level as possible.
    Cut out the bad and weld in the new. Get with me directly to go over exactly how to do it.

    You may have pics in the files I gave you showing my car when I did it.

    Do not mess with risers. Do
    Not cut until we talk.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    It kind of makes me happy that I don't have to mess with the risers.  With that said, I'm going to go get my punch and jogger and get to work!
