This info needs to be saved so others can refer to it. Good pictures and explanation.
This was what I had planned to do to repair the floor of the Daytona where it bolts to the trans cross member, but as of yesterday that is now Ozarkmans problem.

Problems with the floor...what problems with the floor!

My brother was driving me somewhere in our 1953 Champion hardtop in the late 60s, and the tank dropped down on the one side and started dragging.

We also used wood to repair it. We used some paper route bundle wire around a hockey stick across the hole, and we managed to finish our journey.

(Did I mention it was cold and there was lots of snow, and probably salt on the road? This was also before it was fashionable not to drive Studes in the winter)

Your repair looks much more permanent.
