I did not know that, I used the pans my buddy got from CJ Ponies when he had the car.
I wonder if they sent them to him by mistake, I don't remember seeing a distinction in the catalog for the floor pans.

I really hate to butt heads....but, in this case, I can't help it. The seams are not "butt-welded" Like 2+2 says, they are an overlap, but they are spot welded. The best way to replace them is the same way. Drill out the spot welds, and "plug -weld" in the same place. If you replace less than the full floor, then butt weld at that point. It will make the floor weaker though. The point though...oh, hell, I forgot the point. If you don't replace the floor as a unit, it will be weaker. Then again, we're just trying to hide s#$t though.....right?


If you aren't going to take the time to do it right.....why bother?

I am going to have to disagree with that, not true..... it can be true, but if a person does a good job, a good repair may be even stronger than a replacement one piece floor.

Sometimes (often?) replacing the entire floor is not needed, and sometimes it can be a big waste of time and effort.

Each car and project needs to be evaluated on it's own merits, a direction chosen, plan executed.

No doubt many cars will need a full replacement, others just a few patches of various size.
