I finally got my CCOT drivers side floor pan in. Sooo, I broke out the angle grinder and sawzall and started hacking the old rust drivers side out.


After a little test fitting and friendly metal removal, I got the floor board in. I had to install some new steel next the center floor board arch (or whatever this is called) as well as new steel that the tranny hump mounts too. Unfortunately the rust had eaten this completely away and started eating the drivers side of my tranny hump.


I had to reinforce the stock square tubing bracing that connected both floor boards over the arch. Rust had pretty much eaten this one away too. Rather than cut it all out and build a brand new brace, I added steel to both sides as well as underneath. It worked out pretty well but was VERY time consuming.
