Ratt Wed Apr 16, 2003 9:38 pm

Ok so the guy im getting this 67 from cut out the floors because there was some rust. He said he has new ones that need to be welded in. Im told it is the floor board and not the pan.(dont really know the differance so its all good). i am moderatly skillful at welding. How long am I looking at if I reweld it my self? Im going to need to rent a welder to do this. thats why I need to know approx time and effort to reweld the floors. The interior is already stripped.
Thanks

If you do all the fitting up /grinding prep ect before you "rent" the welder you should only need it for one day.
Get a decent wire fed mig preferrebly gas sheilded. I can give you more info if you e-mail me...

it also depends on the welder and the duty cycle of that welder, if you rent a 20% duty welder you can only keep welding for so long on the duty cycle.
either way look at getting one for a day
