I am not sure if this thing was built on Friday or Monday. Started drilling spot welds and noticed a lot of metal movement. Got looking further and a great deal of the welds that are supposed to connect the floor to the firewall have never been attached from day one. They missed and only one half got the spot. same thing on the fore to aft floor supports, there is a gap between them of a 1/4" in some spots. All the rear ones look to be done right so will be full on drilling but I really hope to have this floor out today. I have to be super careful hammering and pushing because the shell of the body does not weigh enough to keep it nice and still on the lift now.
