Manny things to do today had to go to harbor freight for a roll of flux core wire for the welder and planning a trip to NYC to Tattoo a few people out there and to talk to a buddy of my about a another trip and at the same time had to try to finish up the floor panel so I welded it in place.
Hi my name is Angel Garcia and I am the owner of a 1988 ford econoline 150 cargo van. I brought the cargo van used in 2003 to carry my canvas, art supply and ladders when i am painting a mural around town and some time when I'm out of town. now I want to use this blogger to documentation my process as I work on the van to remove the bad rust and replace it with new repair panel and do body work and so on, this will be a on going process as I gut grind and weld new panel.

What a day it's been with all the heat on my back and arm as I work on the front floor support beam. today I finish up the weld under the beam and welded the inner bolt sleeve. added a sealer and crafted the new floor panel in place and welded it and I was almost done when the welder ran out of flux core wire again so the welder is down, until I buy another roll.

This repair panel was hard to mold in to get to fit correct not the right carve on the left side of the panel but with a little hammering and clamping it down. I had to make sure the body mount bolt hole was lined up so I can weld it in. I am not finish yet with this side need to fully weld around floor panel and patch up the rest of the floor.

I started this repair the other day but the battery of the camera was dead,so I took this photo today. I cut out the rusted front floor and the support beam was rotten as well and the body mount screw was frozen so I cut it off and started the building progress before I craft in the new floor panel I will start the other side.
