Hi guys,
what makes more sense? Insert the front and cargo floors first and then install the heating pipes, or would it be better to install them in a different order?

I did all the conduit and heater pipe in without the floor and it was nice being able to access everything from the top without the floors in place.

The section under the floor can be easily installed after the floor has been welded in. that was one of the last pieces to go in on mine.
