Floor Strips

I removed all the floor strips and the outer ones are each broken in two, but other than that, they're all in good shape. My plan is to clean, straighten, and polish them, and try to weld the outer ones together. If the welding works, I'll have the correct floor strips and they'll fit with minimal fiddling. If the welding doesn't work, I'll have to continue my search for decent GS floor strips.

I've cleaned a few of the strips up and they straighten and polish right up. The endcaps also look good with a couple of minutes at the polishing wheel. I have access to the correct riveting tool for the floor strips so reinstalling the strips shouldn't be too much of an ordeal.
