Floor replacement

Postby highstrungvega » Sun Jul 17, 2011 1:14 am

I'm cutting up my gt to steal the floor to put it in my notchback I just picked up. Anybody had this experience.

I've done quite a bit of welding in the floor of my 76 Vega....if you're mig welding it, thin wire is best. I normally weld everything with .030" wire, but I found that .021" works much better on that thin sheet metal. 8)
