Hey Guy's I did some more cutting to fit the floor pan. I found that the body support hole shown in the picture has no mount on both this side and the drivers side. It looks like it goes to the tranny mounting ears. It looks like there's never been any. Is this normal? I plan on removing the tranny ears so I'm not planning on putting mounts in there. What do you experts think?
ps what kind of rust encapsulant do you like to use??

Does anyone have an answer regarding this body mount?
-
Only a convertible has a body mount there. When I cut the bellhousing mount brackets off, I left a stub there that has a matching hole to the one in the floor. I use a line up bar through those holes as a quick way to align the floor and the frame. It's been handy since I've had the body off the frame a couple of times for mock up.

Thanks Rick,
That's what I needed to know. I'm waiting until I have the body off of the frame before I cut off the brackets!!!

Hello Everyone,
I'm getting ready to weld in the foot well floor pans. I have a question, what kind of spacing between spot welds do you use? My plan is to put a hole through one part then weld through it to the other part. Thanks for any help!!
-
Use a similar spacing as what the factory used on their spot welds. 2-1/2" to 3" is a good start. Make the through holes big enough but not too big. Around 3/8" is a good start. You want to be able to weld around the circumference of the hole, not just start welding in the center of the hole to fill it. Practice on some scrap to determine the hole size and whether you're getting good penetration.

Hello All,
I got my right front foot well sized and ready to weld. I have a question... what and where do I get the "seam sealer" that goes in the joint at the front? Thanks.

Anyone ever heard of using Liquid Nails as seam sealer, cost a fraction of the 3M stuff.
