Floor Pans

The high quality floor pans from Wolfsburg West were pdropped onto the chassis and the fit was remarkable. These are great pans!

First order of business was to temporarily secure the pan halves to the chassis with self-tapping metal screws so they wouldn’t shift, and then test fit the chassis to the body. All the holes lined up perfectly and then it was time to once again drop the chassis and punch out some spot weld holes.

A 1/4″ pneumatic hole punch made easy work of creating the spot weld holes along the inner edges of the floors. These were spaced approximately 1″ to 1-1/2″ apart.

A few more of those self-tapping metal screws helped hold the pans tightly to the chassis for spot welding and then those screw holes were later welded closed. This simple technique made the job so much easier.

Both floor pans welded in as well as the driver’s side seat rail. A quick coat or primer to protect the welds from flash rust and it’s nearly ready for paint and seam sealer.
