What's the install 'skill' level feeling like Jim?
Could this piece be used for a guy's first project?

Are ya talking about the hole in the air box? If ya are, that was there when I got here...
Skill level 0-10, 10 being the hardest, about a 5. I have more problems with a and b posts lower patch panels. If the PO hasn't made any patches it's alot easier. When ya get into a factory spot weld it's alot easier. If ya can take a spot weld apart without destroying the metal your trying to save, you can do this, and that is easiest if you make the pc. your trying to remove flat( cut away all metal till you have a ribbon of metal with the spot weld in it), then just use the 4 1/2" grinder to remove the spot weld, then move on to the next one, prying up slightly
I spent about a week and a half cutting out the old floorboard, plasma woulda helped. You can reinstall floorboard with plug welds, so you don't really have to know how the weld, if ya can fill in holes with a mig. You're dealing with a factory seam, front and rear, so it makes it easy to line up flanges (before I started, I painted the seam area, so it showed a line to match up) should also be less welding then a floor patch, if you consider total distance tobe welded
Yes, depending on his ability
, but I would recommend this as an entry level, far less fitting and cutting, fitting and cutting, fitting and cutting...So far all I did was cut out old floor, pop in new
