One tip for getting primer into your weld seam: Mix up some primer (preferrably 2K epoxy primer) with a little more thinner than usual. Then you can apply it to the seam and the capillary force will draw in the primer into the seam and you'll have good protection in there as well :)
If you want to use spray can primer, you can spray some into the lid of a spray can and apply it with a brush, same principle as above.

Thanks for the info!

Nice work! I'm surprised you didn't do the whole floor in one go, though I don't know which is less work!

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

i didnt want to mess with that seat support brace

[@derekspratt]

Also spray on wax after you have painted - everywhere (inside the doors at the bottom, in all of the body channels, etc. Looking good!

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

Thank you Derek, I am going through your blog and watching your video, but can you elaborate on the "spray on wax" I have never heard of such a thing.

[@andrewbaluk1663]

its good to see the quality of the klockerholm pressings is the same as usual.....shocking!

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

man I wish I knew

[@ThomasMcKeever]

Thanks for sharing! Inspiring for me as I prepare to tackle the floors and rockers in my 81 Rabbit Pickup. Did you consider temporarily usjng sheet metals screws to pull panels together before welding?

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

yes, great point, that's what I had to do with that patch panel above the fuel tank on the passenger side, may be in the charger video later on, you can do it, just take your time and do a bunch of passes all the way around

I see the Greg, I hit like. That's my policy

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

that just made my day 👊🏼

[@crasbee]

Wow, the quality of the floorpan is just absolute trash 😅😅
Klokkerholm is usually not the highest quality unfortunately.

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

darn it, would you know of anyone who sells the metal piece that would go under the back seat? please and thank you

[@crasbee]

@@Good-Enuff-Garage not really, no. Sorry :/
