i find that in the drivers feet area, where the floor pan meets the inner rocker structure and where the cowl meets those areas, the factory welds are broke and sandwiched layers of floor metal, have corroded. in fact, the cowl has actually separated from the floor pan and is loose. so again, i grab my cut-off wheel, my saw, and go-to-town on this area. i have to do a great deal of hammer and dollying to get the wrinkles out and pull the floor section back into place. i cut out the bad section that is almost 100% rusted thru, and transfer this "template"over to some new sheet stock. i make the patch. trial fit over and over to get it to fit perfect. again, preparation is key to getting a good strong weld and proper penetration.
