Got the roof stripped and was happy to find clean metal except for a handful of small pitted areas which I hit with the bucket blaster. Shot the epoxy on it this morning.
Why are you saving the tunnel? I would just buy the full floor pan and do it right rather than have to splice in and weld separate drivers and passenger pans.
Ya, I`m usually really carefull and safe about being under a car when it is raised up and NEVER under just a hydraulic jack, always jack stands or solid blocking. That was a lapse of thinking and rushing a bit that could have been bad. Luckily I caught it as soon as it tilted back and no harm...
