I have straightened out a few floor pans, It's not easy. Most of the dents are from misplaced floor jacks. Original is good but nice is still nice. It is as much work to do the bottoms of 911's as it is to do the top side. The thing is, not many cars are taken this far. But when they are they look great.
Disregard the temporary suspension in the last pic.
I apologize, I should have noted that you did the floor on the car I posted. You did a fantastic job. Every woman should wear panties like this.

With a bit of lead work at the seams and a spot welder, it will appear factory.

One more side to go, then it's off to the paint booth.

Where has the time gone?! Sorry for the lack of updates, fellas.
What seemed like an eternity in the metalwork phase then turned into another eternity in the bodywork phase. Finding a competent shop in my area was tough, but we stumbled upon an incredibly talented and skilled shop to help execute our vision.
Here is the body in rough metal as we dropped it off:
Note the reshaped flare profiles.
A polyester sealer went on and then it was time to use a little filler and rod to perfect the gaps:
Ready for the final sealer coat:
The rendering of the final product:
And, we're finally in the booth!
Wet sanding time!
Like your vision...
Time for a bump-date . . .
