78 drivers floor replacement

well i got my floor board yesterday.
i was wondering if someone could give me a little step by step on the process of replaceing the panel.

i have never done anything like this before.
i do have access to a mig welder with .025 wire , a cutting torch , angle grinders , cut off wheels for grinder, and various clamps ect.

i am a quick learner and am not afraid to try anything.
any advice would be appreciated
Thanks all

This isn't the only way to do it but it might give you some ideas.

Let us know how it goes so I can learn from you (should be doing mine in the next year or so).

I'm doing the same thing to my 77 this week. If I can get my camera to work I'll post some pictures. I'm not using repair panels just making my own from 18 gauge metal.
