You sure it wasn't him trying to cover up a Whoops! from jacking it in the wrong place?

Check my gallery for a pic of my floorpan. No dent. It's not the body color anymore as I applied POR15 Rust preventative coating.

EDIT: Guess it didn't get uploaded like I thought. It's done now, should be approved on Sat. 01-24-04 with any luck. Sorry.

I really think that it is from jacking the car . A possability here is the ' H ' shaped lifts that are used by some tire dealers. I have seen them use blocks on the front pads so the lift clears the tranny. Not on my car but on others. I had the same raised areas on my car as escanlon said and I could see that a combination of runing over a concrete parking bumper and the use of a floor jack was the cause. I could see scrape marks when I stripped the paint and undercoating. The dents were in the pan about 4 to 6 " back from the start of the upward tilt or the floor. I just pounded the floor down on the drivers side and replaced the floor on the pasinger side. It was rusted too badly.
