More progress to report.
I was trying to figure out how I could bend the flange at the front edge of my floor pan. I thought about a brake but it was not flat enough to put in a brake. Then I found some vise grips that would work perfect! Rather than buy them, I figured I would be resourcful and re purpose a pair of old vise grips that my dad had lying around. Couple pieces of scrap metal and about 2 mins of welding and bam!
So now that Ive got that out of the way, the slow process of trimming down to fit slowly so as not to cut too much off can continue. Starting to see some good progress here! :metal
