Hey Guys,

I'm planning on replacing the driverside floor support on my 73'. Has anyone done this before, or know of a good build forum involving this?

I need to cut open the bottom of the torque box in order to get out those spot welds holding it onto the frame, but if I do cut the torque box open am I good to just weld it back up or has it lost it's purpose once you start cutting into it?

Anyone have any experience with this, thanks.

By the looks of the pics, its not in that bad of shape. Doesn't look like there are any holes and the metal is still pretty thick. I would clean that area up. Hammer back the bent areas and throw a few welds on those seams. Use some por15 or eastwood frame paint in there and move onto the floor pans.
