    New transition pan fits but with a big flaw you be the judge

    The new transition pan fits over all very well I have it centered on the spot welds I had to drill out to remove the shock brace. I have the shock crossmember centered and temp mounted in place. The transition panel fits over the rails nice next to no hammer dolly work except one small potion of rail flange that I bent on accident when I was bringing the rails together to mount the shock crossmember.  I have the transition panel centered on the shock crossmember plug weld marks that I drilled out and the panel is screwed in place currently.  The new transition panels end to the transmission tunnel is off quite a bit.

    Where’s the old stuff you cut out?  Use some of the old tunnel section and patch it up.   Almost looks like you cut the floor tunnel to short.

    The floor is cut to length the tunnel is short from cutting off the spot welded on end. I removed the section to tunnel to get the new panel to go under the floor. Adding on the old peice of tunnel that I kept I can maybe use a section of it and make it work. I just am not liking the fact it seems like the pan is offset to the passenger side. And it definitely seems like that when I placed the old peice of tunnel on.

    I replaced everything from the front toe boards back to the taillight panel.  I installed the one piece floor pan and transition pan and those two fit together almost perfectly.
