Floor Replacement - Frame Weld

[pinkflamingoes]

We're replacing the floor and doing frame repairs on our '67 TW.

Here's what we decided: the frame looks like it's in OK condition, just needs welding around the door area and in some areas that are pretty pitted up underneath. I correctly assumed he didn't want to crawl underneath.

I don't want to remove the whole floor so I'm thinking: doing it in sections of about four feet at a time. I'm taking off the lower inner panels towards the front, removing part of the floor, Bob the Welder takes a look and fixes what's needed. Replace floor area. Move to the next floor section, remove, Bob takes a look, replace floor. Etc. etc.

We may brace up the inside first too. Can I bend lower inner panels upwards or do I have to remove them? Any thoughts, suggestions, or warnings?

What's the best way to remove floor, sawzall or skilsaw?

thanks,
