Installing the new ones will help with the attitude. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Here is one worse: scraping 35 years worth of crud off the bottom of said floorpans before realizing you are going to have to remove them, and THEN removing them!
I don't imagine the actual installation of the new sills/rockers/floorpans is as bad as removing the old, rusty bits.
It's a job that has to be done, though... ahhh, the perils of doing something the right way instead of just rigging something together (like a PO did).
The end result is the motivation in itself.

That floorpan looks SO much better than mine!!!
Removal is about half completed but as I was removing the pan along the inner sill, I was having to remove chunks of some kind of rubber/sound deadening something-or-other from INSIDE the sill. I wish I would have taken some "before" photos... a PO had bolted pieces of plywood over the rusted-through sections and pop-riveted a piece of galvanized over the whole floorpan area. The inner sill had already rusted through when that "repair" was done, as evidenced by this material inside of the sill.
This gal better run like a dream after bringing her back from this far gone!
