Wetdog,
Look all the way around your floor pan, even the very front where the foot well drops down. I am assuming (shame on me) that you have a newer dropped floor pan model with toally steel pans. It is not welded solid all the way around at any section other than the very rear (higher up) and where it has been bent by a press. There IS a manufactured gap on both left and right floor pans. I guess I just didn't get your "TRICKY DEVIL" comment, I just build them, I don't design them.

Sure a guy can caulk or plug them if he so desires, but after cutting out rusted and rotted floor pans for years on factory cars, (i.e.; early 70 Corvettes for a very simple example of hundreds of cars with steel D.O.T .floor pans with plugs that rot out after 5 years or less.) I simply believed that this was one way that CR's got around the rusting-rotting problrem. I have yet to see A CR Cobra that was left open rusted or rotted yet.

Oh well, think I'll take another Clonopin.
