Robert Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 Good morning one and all. Now that I have the floor, are there any mods I'll need to do to get the best fit. Any tricks or tips would be of great help. If it wasn't for the insight and help of all the members, I don't think I would have taken on this project. Thank you all.

Robert Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Morning Still looking for any advise. Found a post from tommyss454, pictures help. Thanks Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtgz71 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 When fitting the floor leave extra material and sneak up on it slowly, easier to cut thin strips than fill in a gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) Thanks Ron. As soon as we get warmer weather, I'll be back in the garage prepping to cut out the old floor. Edited February 9, 2023 by Robert Spelling . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommySS454 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Is this a full one piece pan or something you can put in from the top? If it requires lifting the body off you should weld some tubing into the body to keep everything square and stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 It's a one piece pan with floor braces. Plan to add support bracing . Side to side, front to back and criss cross. Thanks for the advice. If anyone has more tips or tricks, always looking for ways to make things go better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420ponies Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Can't stress this more ,Measure, Remeasure, Then 2 more times before cutting floor. Take lots of pictures where you start cutting, as you are going thru the process. Be very careful where rear \ side structure braces are to floor area. This where to double check side to side measurements (+/- .062" max). You'll have to cut your floor out in 3 sections to get it out of the car. I hope your doing it off the frame. That way the new pan will go up from bottom of body. It's a lot of work, but man looks great when finished. Might want to start a thread when you're ready to get started on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 Thanks for your input James . Yes I'm doing a body off, have been taking pictures. Should have taken more. Spent the last three years putting together parts (still buying) and now its go time. I'm thinking of doing a thread for my build. There isn't going to be much left of the original car. But to make it right, it has to be done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. You’ll get it back on track with the next update. I apologize in advance for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420ponies Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Ditto on what Dennis says. I only have a picture of mine before I started the frame off restoration. I have pictures after it was put back together, not the entire teardown. That was fun for me. Not the cost of putting it back together. I know that there were times I wanted to push it off a hill at the shop we used to restore it at. Now it's sitting behind me getting some "needed upgrades" ..... Things I wanted to do way back when. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
