floorpans and engine justveedub?

I emailed them once and actually never got a reply. I would just rebuild it, lots of fun ;-)

Kirk, I believe the Ghia pans are the same for the thing. Be sure to keep you seat rails and seat belts though. My ghia pans did not come with rails. You want to weld these in from the top for support. otherwise a hard stop could pop the spot weld. Tell the welder not to do a long seam, but spot welds. The heat could warp or crack the metal if you do a seam. Hope this helps!

Ben Wats> HI all.

When I install floor pans I use a metal punch to put holes every 1 1/2" along the edge, or you can just drill the holes. then grind the inner lip so you get a good weld. make sure to seam seal both top and bottom to prevent rust.

I welded my floor pans in from the top side. I used a stitch method to do it, meaning run the bead about and inch then skip a couple inches and do it again. Then start back at the begining again filling the gap and inch at a time till completely welded. It has held up for many years now. I would think that the Thing will be similar to the bug pan and it will bolt to the outside edges under the heater channel. No welding required out there, but you should know that already.
