Hey guys,
My Camaro is at the body shop to have the floor pans replaced. My friend has had several cars done by this guy and swears by him. I however am a little concerned because when he explained the process he would be using to install my floor pans it didn't seem right. I am not a body man so I'm not sure what the correct way to install them really is though.
According to the shop owner, the new pans will be layed into the old hole cut outs and will over lap by 1/2" in or so. That's fine. They will not be completely welded in though, instead they will be 5/16 plug welded and he will use seam sealer underneath to further stregthen the metal.
Does that make sence? I always that the pans were completely welded.
Please let me know.
