anyone out there welded in new floors themselves and if so how was it to do. Also those of you who paid to have it done... how much did you pay and did you do any of the assembly yourself... like the interior?

If they are damaged past the point of no return, classic industries and/or year one will have replacements. I think it runs like $200 per boards.(drivers and passengers sides)

If all you have are a few holes, grab a battery powered zawzal and take a trip to the J/Y. Only cut out what you would need. I also recommend Por15 for afterwords.

Good luck if you do this yourslef. You will need a mig or tig welder to install them. Don't use rivets please...

Obviously, installing a whole floor pan involves a lot more work than patching up holes. I'm guessing a bodyshop would charge you a grand in labor alone.
