Re: Floor Pan

[MrChristopher1@xxxxxxxxxxx]

So i didn't use a Stop sign (Great idea! by the way...), but I had to replace my trunk and Driver Floor Pan.  I formed the Trunk Pan myself out of a sheet of steel.  (Free from Metal worker, neighbor).  The driver pan, I bought, but cut out the old and repplcaed myself.  I just followed the mopar tech article along with other "How To" articles.  I used a Saw zall for 95% of my cutting.

It boils down to How much is your free time worth to you?  If you have ever stripped paint off a car by yourself and any type of metal work then you understand how Labor intensive Piant and body work is.  JM2C...
