Thanks dacavy!

Didn't get much done this afternoon as it was pretty hot here in Sacramento and I was literally dripping sweat on the bare metal. Oh well at least I didn't put the spot weld cutter into my hand again

Cut out the rotten metal and it went deeper than I had hoped. Luckily I have all of these patch panels on order with classic industries already.

I marked out where to cut the floor to remove the rust and avoid complex humps and bumps.

And then the cut!

Of course this all looks simple enough but trust me there was a lot of hidden spot welds and banging with a hammer and chisel to make this happen.
