I recently purchased a iroc camaro shell and upon examining the underneath I found this kink. There's also a few other bad dings in the floor pan but this one is really the only one im worried about. It looks like they may have hopped up on something in the mid part of the car and rode over it. I don't know of this is even related to the other spots. I'm just wondering how bad this is and if I need to have it looked at.

It's ugly but it doesn't look like it will affect anything.

Actually all the acceleration force us exterted there through the lower arm. Straighren it out by cutting out the middle. Hammering the floor diwn and weld back up and weld up a connection between there and the inner subframe for added strength

At least thats what I would do

Definitely looks like someone put a jack stand there. Had a similar place on my car.
