Jeff, I've always said the same thing...LOL...for weld through primer, it's a PITA to deal with.
Still, on my GTS, I used the zinc weld through stuff all over hell and back, where ever I sprayed. I then in the process of getting read to weld, after clamping the panels, I took and used a pick or screw driver, or a die grinder with a scotchbrite or britestrip disc to clean the weld area. Got to love bodywork!

I think they call that "channeling" and it's how you lower the body in relation to the frame, which means the floor comes up and you lose headroom. Often done along with chopping a top. More lost headroom there. But channeling is very cool when done right, as evidenced by Pure Vision's concept. |

Only issue with the PV GTS is the pedal set, by raising the floor, you loose some leg room.
The 70's full frame fords were already technically "channeled" by design.

Yes Andy... Our Torino is "CHANNELED"
Channeling refers to cutting a channel in the floor so the frame runs in that channel, hence lowering the floor and still allowing for the headroom.
So technically you could argue the PV-GTS is or isn't channeled. I argue it isn't because the ENTIRE floor is raised (like a pickup/van floor board).
Either way I was just saying on this thread... something to think of doing IF a floor is rotted to bad.
It would ba a good candidate for something like that!
thinking it could ba a cool way to go on mine.
