Floor pan help pls

[jgrow]

Ok, Cut out old driver floor pan. Need to do some metal clean up and cut out for rear pan back plate(my name for it). Using bronco hut pans. Do I lay the pan over the metal or am I supposed to tuck it under the strip that goes along the rocker? Seems like if I’m tucking under I’ll be shaving it down some so it won’t bow. All thoughts/suggestions appreciated.
Oh, this isn’t a show rig. The floor pan was the only bad metal in it(p.o. Used a speed limit sign to cover). I’m just interested in putting new pans in and leaving it with original patina paint. Thanks

along the rocker it should be under that lip like original and weld back through the holes where the spot welds were drilled. yes you may have to trim to fit.
also if the original metal on the front of the seat riser is in good shape (the vertical part behind the the pan) I would leave it, cut that piece off the new pan and weld it back together at the original joint where you cleaned it to.

Thank you. That metal is good so will cut the vertical pan off and get to work!

Thanks Rocko. I plan on it. Need some warmer weather here to use it since my garage is not heated. Ben s cold/snowy winter here in CO.
