Scott,
You will probably have to weld a backing plate 4"x4" around the area where you want to drill the hole. The hole should come through the center of the back plate, plate should be welded to the outside of the floor pans. If the car didn't all eady have them. I f you don't then if your in an accident(god forbid), then the rear passenger(s), mounts will just pull though the floor board.
