Floor pan dent, fix?

Hey, free is good!

Free is awesome The body shop is called B2 Perfection in Sunnyvale, CA. They did my father's vehicle, a 2004 Mercedes E320, and my daily driver, 2010 Toyota Prius. They matched the paint PERFECTLY, and did great body work as well. I would recommend them to anyone in the Bay Area with a Z or other car that needs work. I know Z owners here like William's Auto Body, but you can't argue with B2's 227 reviews on Yelp with 5 Star Rating.

Snip.....and my daily driver, 2010 Toyota Prius.

I'm sorry to hear that;)

My floors were both pushed up somewhat. I purchased new rails and had my body guy r&r them. The floors pretty much pushed right back down and look great on top and bottom.

What I did was put a 2x6 block about 16" square over the frame rail on the highest part of the dent.

Use a 8lb sledge hammer and hit straight down square on the block one good blow at a time.

Don't be shy:D but check that you don't go too far and watch your backswing;)

Casey Z,

Is that a block of wood to put under the floor pan while you hammer on top to make it straight? Or do you put the wood, kinda like a punch, over the floor pan and hammer down on it? Thanks!

There you have it! (and I was thinking that I was the only guy who had used lumber on his car )
