This gives it small welds on a solid surface. And more importantly, a small body repair area. And I will cut the donor bus about 10" (to the inside of the floor) So that I will attach it at the bottom of the rocker panel. >> JohnC, Be prepared for some painstaking cutting on the donor bus. The reinforcement runs double under the floor. I cut such a panel for a listee before. It was a pretty major job. Sadly I did not take any pictures. BenT |
