thanks for the info...

i got most of the driver's side floorboard out a few nights ago. i just used my grinding wheel to grind thru the welds just enough that it doesnt grind the support rail but it makes the rest of the metal thin enough that i can use a pliers and give it some torque and it rips the floor right off of the spot weld and then i just grind the remaining spot weld metal down to be level with the rest of the support rail. its a tedious but quite simple process that just takes a little time...

o and words to the wise... dont be an idiot like i was the first time and not wear a face mask. i got metal dust stuck in my nose and i was blowing metal snot out lol into a paper towel. just get some cheapo disposable ones at some store and they work great. you can tell if its working by if you can "smell" a burning metal type of smell or not. this is it will "smell" like burning metal if particles are getting thru the mask into your nose. in that case you have to adjust the mask to seal it as good as possible and there will not be that "smell" if it is properly in place...
