Rust in floorpan on both sides of the seam

[pound41]

I posted a thread on this in paint and body but no one responded so I must be breaking new ground here. Anyway my driverside floor pan has heavy rust on both sides of the factory seam. The replacement pan goes above the original seam. Do I need to cut 2 pacthes and seam it back into the support bar like the factory or can I go over with one floor pan patch

Post some pics of the area if you can.

Sounds like your talking about the firewall/floor seam, if so just be aware that these are two separate parts/pieces.

VT: Thats exactly where I am talking about. The passenger side didn't have rust on the high side so I bent a lip on the floor pan patch. Used some self tapping screws to suck it up tight to the firewall part of floorpan. After I get everything lined up. I am doing almost a total floorpan replacement. Inner/outer rockers/front floorpan/outer floor/boxes/ part of the kneewall/ Hump and curved part where seat sits is a pickup donor. I will pull the screws and weld holes. They will serve as my spot welds. So I don't know if I need to make 2 patches for structural reasons on the Drivers side. I haven't figured out yet to post pics yet but I have been taking them to put in my restro book
Thanks for the help
