Thanks dacavy!
Didn't get much done this afternoon as it was pretty hot here in Sacramento and I was literally dripping sweat on the bare metal. Oh well at least I didn't put the spot weld cutter into my hand again
Cut out the rotten metal and it went deeper than I had hoped. Luckily I have all of these patch panels on order with classic industries already.
I marked out where to cut the floor to remove the rust and avoid complex humps and bumps.

Of course this all looks simple enough but trust me there was a lot of hidden spot welds and banging with a hammer and chisel to make this happen.
