repairing floor pans without welding.. best way? [1]
I was going to use a friends mig to repair the floor but now I’m considering using some sort of adhesive.. What is the best stuff for this? I want to repair it in a way that the rust won’t come back for a long time, ie I want their to be no crevices for water/salt to get in.
Would that be suitable? If so where can I get some and how do I use it? The reason I am reconsidering welding is because their is no clean metal to weld to. To get clean metal I would have to remove the seat rail and replace the metal that it is welded to, then patch the floor and re-weld the seat rail..
DIY Floor Pan Installation: A Step-by-Step Guide Without Welding [2]
Installing floor pans without welding can be a challenging task, but it is possible with the right tools and techniques. Whether you’re restoring an old car or replacing rusty floor pans in a newer vehicle, this guide will walk you through the process step-by-step
With these tips and tricks, you can give your car a new lease on life without having to weld.. The two most common methods for installing floor pans are butt welding and overlap
Both methods of welding take longer, but using smaller tungsten rods has a better chance of success. This type of spot welding can be avoided in a variety of ways
Install Floor Pans Without Welding If You’re Not Dab In It [3]
Installing the floor pans of your car is quite expensive if you repair it by welding. I said it was costly because it was pretty expensive, up to $1500 minimum.
Hence, it’s not necessary to change your floor panels while it’s getting old.. Although most car-warriors like me are always looking for the cheapest way to avoid cutting the floor panels and welding them into new pieces of metal, after all, we all want to save our pocket, right
A floor plan is a large sheet metal stamping on the car floor. It will often incorporate several smaller welded stamping to form the surfaces of a large car or truck.

Only other thing it needs yet is shocks but Thats something I highly doubt I can do myself. I’ve read that the 96 xj was the last year before they started to change things up and to find one in a 5 speed manual is kinda rare these days
After careful consideration, I decided I need to replace my flooring in my 96 all by yours truly.. I gave him $300 and he ordered me front/back passenger side floor pans
Floor Pans: Weld or Glue [6]
Well it turns out I was wrong about the floor pans in my 69′ Cutlass. It appears that it somehow managed to rust from the inside out, as looking under the car the under coating is all intact
Anyway I’m going to have to replace at least the front floor pans on both sides. Talking with my next door neighbor (a body and fender guy) he mentioned gluing them in
Anyone have any experience with these, what are the pros and cons. In my research, opinions seem about split down the middle.
How to MIG Weld [7]
How far to go? It’s easy to get carried away as a restoration progresses. I often start off with the intention of a few quick repairs then find more to do than I first thought.
I went to a bit of effort prior to this restoration in building a chassis jig and a suspension jig. Actually those jigs were intended for a different project where the chassis had already rusted enough to lose it’s shape.
I used a hot air gun to soften it then scraped it off with a knife.. I’d intended to patch the floor at the corners where I knew it was rusty, but having removed the underseal the rust looked a lot more extensive
how to replace floor pans in a car? [8]
– There are a few ways to replace floor pans in a car.. – One way is to remove the floor pan and replace it with a new one.
– A third way is to remove the entire floor of the car and replace it with a new one.. It can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or two depending on the size and complexity of the car.
If the pan is just cracked, you can usually fix it by using a metal patch and filling the crack with a sealant.. This can be done with a wire brush or a sandpaper block
Repair Rusty Floor Panels [9]
There are several ways to repair an old car’s rusty floor. If the hole isn’t too big, you can do a patch repair
If the rust damage is extensive, replacing the entire floor pan with a one-piece panel may be the best way.. The method you choose will depend not only on your skill and budget, but also what’s available for your make, year, and model
We often made patches for floorboards simply because new panels weren’t available.. If it’s just a small area that needs repair, a patch panel is fine
New floor pan [10]
I would like to find new driver’s side floor pan or patch area’s where I have some rust hole’s. I also know that the prefered way to install new pan is to weld in place
How should I prep the areas, and what do I paint the area with after installation? Any info or direction’s to getting info would be greatly appreciated.. If you want a stock looking finish, a patch panel isn’t going to do that for you unless you’re going to spend a lot of time grinding the finish smooth.
First is to buy a full factory floor pan and remove all the spot welds from your old one and install it the same way the factory did. It’s been a while since I’ve looked at a thirdgen floorpan, but I’ll wager it’s similar to the way my chevelle is setup in that it has the rockers, then the floorpan, then some kind of floor bracing for the seats
How-To: No-Weld Rusty Floors [11]
New to the forum and thought I would share my floor pan and torque box repair. Just purchased a 97 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with 135k for very cheap to be used as an off road toy
My frame is still solid but rusty, no soft spots however all three body mounts on both torque boxes were completely rusted through as were the floor pans front and rear on both sides. Probably would have been easier to get a new tub however there are some significant headaches with that I had no idea how to tackle, like how to move an entire tub by yourself.
I have only done the drivers side so far but to repair it I cut off everything that was rusted, drilled out all the spot welds and ordered new pans and the torque box from amazon.. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MS4UGFV/?tag=wranglerorg-20
Partial Floor Pan Replacement: Everything You Need to Know [12]
Do you have a rusty section of floor pan? In this post, we replace the front driver side floor pan section in our 1971 Camaro RS/SS build and we are taking you along with us.. The first thing you need to do is a little planning and preparation
Once you’ve found clean metal, you can be begin assessing how much of a replacement panel you need. If you have a smaller section, you might be able to get away with a custom patch
Now just because you get enough panel to replace a good portion of the floor doesn’t mean you have to use it. In fact, you’ll only want to use enough of the replacement pan to replace the rusted out section
Rocker Panel and Floor Permanent Rust Repair without Welding [13]
Non structural permanent rust repair can be done without welding. In fact, I have seen welding cause more problems than it will solve, especially if the back sides of the welds can not be properly treated and coated
I have been working on rusty old cars since I bought my first Model A Ford when I was 13 years old. Very few live up to their claims to make it go away and not come back
You should see some of the dozens of examples where I have seen the weld seams rust from the inside out because they were not properly coated and protected from moisture on the blind side! And NOTHING rusts faster than an oxidized weld seem. I have come to believe that unless you are restoring a valuable collector car, one should stay away from sheet metal weld replacement

Repairing Small Holes In Floorpans [15]
I am planning to tackle the floor of our 68 GTX and wanted to see what you guys think about the floorpan. Would this need metal repair work to fix or is there another solution for sealing the holes without welding?

Help Welding in Floor Pans [16]
Went to start cutting out the old ones and hit a snag. Welded to the back of the floor pans are a series of panels, presumably one function is to add rigidity, but one of them also happens to be where the cab mount is
I’d have to cut this off where it begins to kick up towards the back.. Where the hole ends right is where the panels on the back begin.
Where the hole ends right is where the panels on the back begin.. Yes, cut out the bad and cut the new to fit, then tack weld it in every two or three inches so you don’t get too much distortion and then go back and tack in between and then you can begin to lay a bead
Gluing in floor pans? [17]
Let me start with the fact that I’m a retired welder that has replaced 1,000s of floor pans over the last 28 years.. Bonding floor pans can be done if you are replacing individual pans as long as you don’t need to replace the body structure that the pans are attached to
There is at least one disadvantage to bonding in a floor pan, the bonded area is an overlap. The new pan has to over lap the original pan by about a 1/2″ all the way around the old pan, and that seam will be visible from under the car, if that is something that would concern you
A properly done bonded pan would have to have all of any paint or surface protection removed from both bonding surfaces all around the pan. Properly done, the bond is suppose to be as strong as any weld.
Bringing the Pontiac Hobby Together [18]
It’s come time for me to repair the floor pans in my GrandVille that have been rusted through. The really bad one is the rear passenger side pan, which would cause someone to fall through if stepped on
A mechanic told me that I could do it myself WITHOUT welding. He said to sand off the rust, and cut out the weakened metal
I’m fully capable of doing this, and would much rather do it myself than pay a body shop hundreds of dollars. My concern is will it be strong enough? I’ve seen some glues used on Spike TV that are as strong or stronger than welds and are great for binding sheetmetal in body work.

I’m new at this and never have installed floor pans in a vehicle before. I have a 64 Chevelle and it needs the driver and passenger floor pans replaced as well as the entire trunk floor
Thank you for any and all of your expertise and advise, and sorry if this was supposed to be placed in the bodywork category. More of an art than a science – discuss metalworking and welding here.
The floor pans and trunk floor are structural components that help hold the car together AND bolted to the frame so YES you will need to weld them in properly. Get the car on jack stands supported at least 4 places under the frame so everything remains stable while replacing the pans.
