So my testicles finally decended  and I started on the rot repair tonight. Started by removing the factory sound deadner. I've found that if you score it with a scraper, then use that same scraper to hammer away at it, it comes off in sections. I plan on leaving as much down as possible and just putting the LS over what the factory put down. Trying to make the interior as quite as possible.
Then the good 'ole plasma comes out. Way more get's cut out than you would think to make sure you get all the cancer out and have good material to weld to. The factory sheet metal is thin, really thin, 18 maybe 20 gauge.
and from the bottom, the car was right side up for most of this repair but being able to flip her upside down for welding both sides is KEY!
Had to cut out a piece of the seat support so I could get better access to the area that needed to be repaired.
