Partial Floor Removal

At the beginning of May I received new body to frame mounting parts from California Pontiac Restoration: http://www.pontiacparts.net/

After receiving these mounting parts I was inspired to start replacing them on the drivers side of the body.

I made the mistake of cutting these bolts from the bottom side of the body/frame not paying attention to the fact that some of the screws are actually screwed directly into the bottom side of the body. Now I have to find a way to remove a rusty bolt from the body of the vehicle without damaging the threads or more fabrication will be necessary to re-attach the body mount to the frame. (Rookie mistake which should not have been made)

On May 29th I cut out the rusty floor on the drivers side.

Unfortunately once the floor was cut out I noticed that the framework mounting for the body under the floor was completely rusted and will also need to be replaced/fabricated. I actually suspected that this would be the case but, was hoping otherwise. The rabbit hole is getting deeper. Midwestern vehicles and salt during the winter and sitting in a farm field for over 6 years doesn't help with rust either.

Still struggling with wanting to find the time to work on the vehicle. Motivation is low, inspiration is extremely low due to the amount of rust on this car and the lack of proper tools to deal with the removal of rust BUT, I will keep moving forward if ever so slowly.

Until next time peace and love to you all.
