Default Floorpan/Trunk Restoration

Just wanted to post the photos of the floor in stages for yall to check out. I went by today and hes got the pans in and one pan is spot welded in and sealed.
I dont think he drilled holes and spot welded like i wanted him to do but he spot welded around the pans. He didnt cut the whole old floor out because he said he didnt want to cut into the good torq boxes and get near the frame. I think hes doing a pretty good job.
Check out the photos and let me know what you think!

BEFORE AND NEW PLANS LAYING IN THERE

Well, on the other hand, you don't really know what he's using for seam sealer do you? Maybe he spelled it right.

did he just lay those full pans over the half cut up old stuff? If there is a spot where he just over layed the new metal over the rusty pans that needs to be redone. If he's just cutting out some of the pan, he needs to just cut out a patch the same size from the new pan and weld it in, it shouldn't be over lapped.

He must have overlep both the front areas. Both the new pans should have been cut to fit the opening not just sitting on top. Time to stop and make sure it is done right..
