| The cutouts at the circle were required because the guy who installed the second one-piece floorboard some 30 years ago, simply layed it over the cutout from the original one and only pop-rivetted it in place and put some puttylike sealant around the seams. Doug cut and welded the crossmembers of that floor then jigsaw-cut and welded the pieces as seen at the image on the right. I wonder how many hours that added to the project. |
