...the difference that fixing the floor, the extra spot welding and Hushmat all made. The TR8 feels like a different car - flipping amazing actually.

For any of you that where dealing with floppy floors like I was go after it! If I can do it you can.

soldering slot cars when i was a kid is as close as i have come to your project
 
Thanks for the kind words guys, but looking back it really wasn't that hard guys. Took a fair amount of time, and of course a welder etc, but I posted this as encouragement for anyone else who has a similar job to do but hasn't jumped in yet.

Practice some, expect to do re-work on the first go around, measure twice, be nice to kids, dogs and older people to build up the karma bank, but <span style="font-weight: bold">you can do it.</span>
