Floor Pan Cutouts!

Started some work on the passenger side floor pan. here is how it went.

 Cut out large sections with an angle grinder first to make this easier to work with.


 First we grind out a little bit to see where the welds are better.
Then we will drill with a regular drill bit so we have a better seat for the spot weld bit.
Then we go back with the drill with the spot weld bit. It cuts out around the weld to it separates the metal on top from the brace underneath.
 Here is what it looks like when you finish a bit there. We go back with a pry bar to be sure its cut out there. It's a pretty useful tool we got for this.


And here is how it looks after you pull out most of it. We did not get the whole thing yet. just one "T" looking section and used the angle grinder to cut it out fully.
