In the process of cutting out the right side floor pan and was wondering if the section I have circled in the pic is part of the Frame Head or part of the old Floor Pan?

I don't recall this being an issue on the left side floor pan and at this point the only way it's coming off is if I cut it off.

Advise is appreciated. Thanks!

I hope you have the replacement piece you will be welding in Before you are cutting? That is what I recommend to the buyers of my Type 3 heater channels & pans etc. :D

Assuming that is a Beetle pan, it is part of the floor and not the "Napoleon Hat". It's probably throwing you off because it is the only part of the floor pan that has a bead as opposed to the spot welds that are everywhere else.

Yes, it is a Beetle....'68 vert.

That comes off before the new is welded in. Its a wierd part...I kinda grinded thru it til i got down to a single layer.

your new pan should help you see what comes off.
