Thank you guys! And don't be intimidated! Be inspired! There is nothing I am doing here that takes specialized equipment. It is 95% hand work and sticking stuff together with the welder. Anyone can do it...
Got some work done on the floor today. Getting the rocker in was a big deal. Now I can move forward with the floor installation!
I used a cup wire brush on the inside of the main crossmember and got it buried in rust converter.

Drilled and punched all of the plug weld holes around the perimeter.



Fit the back corner to the original floor and welded in a doubler for that seam.

Drilled all of the holes for welding the floor braces.

Fit the seat brace and got it welded to the center crossmember

Started fitting the seat brace to the floor and inner rocker.

And welded in the foot board patch.


A little more fit up and some work on the inner rocker and this will be ready to weld in!
I have some thinking to do on what is left of the old outer rocker. Even though it was replaced a long time ago it is pretty rusty on the inside so I am debating cutting it off and replacing it like I did on the other side...
Thanks for watching and for all of the comments!
