1975 Firebird Formula

[AngryBird75]

Ok, so now that I was a self trained welding expert I decided to step up my game and tackle the floorboards. I figured if it wasn’t pretty at least it would be covered by carpet.

During the euphoria of the initial vehicle purchase I surveyed the car and purchased various sheet metal/panels because supply chain was still a little sketchy. My original assessment was the rear passenger pan had to be replaced and the passenger side floor pan up to, but not including the toe board. After I started tearing into though I realized the passenger toe board was all pitted as well and needed repair. It was just too thin to leave it as is….Unfortunately I could not source a third piece in the toe board only. I had to buy another entire passenger pan including the toe board. This was an unforced error and cost me a few hundy. Maybe I’ll take on another f body in the future and I can use it lol. If anybody can use it lmk I’ll give you a good deal.

I used a cutoff wheel, body saw, and air hammer to cut out the old floor. The torque box had some surface rust but nothing I couldn’t clean up. The frame rails were just dirty no rust.
