1956 Nomad gasser build

[Too Many Projects]

Got the last of the original floor remnants ground off this morning and lifted the floor into place with the lift for a trial fit. I gotta say, this floor fits about as good as anything you could get. I left as much of the original weld seams on the car as a reference and it matches very well.
I've put a number of 1 piece pans in vehicles now and it is still cool. I work 2-3 days getting ready for this and end up with a big hole and, wha-la, 1 piece and it looks like a vehicle again.













Since that fit so well, I went after removing the left outer rocker cover the owner installed in 1970. I couldn't tell exactly where his seam was, so I just used the stone grinder to remove the edge of the metal, to preserve the original underneath.








I only saw the one spot weld and wondered why. I found out quickly when I started grinding off the paint. The whole seam is leaded... That's tomorrow's removal process.
