New floor pans

[BlueBull]

Hi guys. I bought a car from a non-serious company in des Moines. They told me the car body and floor pans was welded the correct way. Fooled again! I discovered serious rust on the floor pans especially on the passenger side. I'm really pissed off they being so irresponsible.

To the the case. The car paint work and outer body as fenders, doors, trunk are very good and I want to keep it. So my question is, can I fix this problem (maybe replace the whole floor pan) without mess with the rest?? Is it good practise to build a jig (- is this the correct word??) to maintain the measures during the replacement?

I appriciate the input.

I dont' think you'll need a jig since the rest of the car is solid. I'll look at where my floorpan is welded to the rockers and let you know what you'll need to paint. I'm thinking all you'll need to spray is the pinch weld along the top of the rocker.

where was this shop in Des Moines is it the one on 2nd that always has a bunch of muscle cars outside that all look too good to be true?

good luck with the floors. I have to cross that bridge too if i ever get time to start on mine.
