Floor Pans
Created on 2006-04-23 20:29:19
This is out of order but here is how I did my floor pans.
From 6/6/05
I'm making good progress. I got the heel board extensions welded in. I followed Brian's lead and took Bill K's suggestion and welded 1/4" bar stock onto the bottom of my repro floor pans for my seat bolts. Later when I fit the seat rails, I will drill and tap these steel squares. I prepped the floor pans for welding and they slid right into place! No massaging necessary! Woo hoo! I need to make one patch near the floor boards, but hopefully they will be welded in shortly. After that, power wash the bottom and paint. Then fit the doors, fenders and bonnet.
