Thanks for the good luck wishes....so far things are going about as well as expected, I hope that trend continues.What a great restoration project! Good luck and can't waite to see more pictures.
Your making great progress! I used the same floor pans and found that by using long reach vise grip welding clamps and self drilling sheet metal screws I was able to pull the floor pans into the braces....
I still use that style spot weld cutter from time to time. I have also been a skip proof cutter. Eastwood sells this also. With the skip proof cutter I have found that most of the time I do not need a pilot hole since it has a drill bit in the center(it doesn't drill a hole through the material only an indentation). Here is a link: http://www.eastwood.com/ew-skip-proof-spotweld-cutter.html
... If you're not going to pull the body off of the frame, I think the panel adhesive might be a good idea just for the center seam. It should be plenty strong enough....

That picture I posted was from a thread posted by an individual doing exceptional fab work on a 61 or 62. I think it was on Chevytalk and the guy was Sven Ericksson from Sweden or Switzerland ? He used the tag "Bld" if I recall correctly.
V How do you interpret the "lip only behind door opening" note? Do you think he is saying the lip only occurs at the door opening or to the rear of the door past the B pillar?
