Well, the car has been sitting unloved for about 9 months and I just got back into it. The outer edge of the front outrigger had been torched off at the body shop, so I had to make a new piece. I decided to have the bottom taper up where it attaches to the sill so there wouldn't be that 1/4" gap that many cars have. I have to say, it was kinda fun using the torch again, but welding underneath is a little bit of a challenge. I also decided not to repair the main floor section. It was just easier to scrap it. I was somewhat disappointed with the Kilmartin part being thinner at 20ga., so I thought I'd try to make one. I bought a piece of 18ga. mild steel and used a bead roller I bought several years ago. Once the shapes were made, it took a lot of shrinking to get the floor back from looking like a potato chip. Here are a couple photos for fun.
