Ah yes, good ol plywood on floor of drivers, and tongue and groove planking on passenger floor. You know it, there’s rust. Pulled the stuff out and pulled the carpet, fuzzy stuff, and that asphaltish sheet stuff off the floors. Oh yeah, Flintstone grade rot going here! Driver side is marginally better than passenger, but thats not saying much. Passenger side rot starts to extend into rear floor area also. Fab brought up good point of if I plan to use different seats, if so then don’t need to worry about the original seat cross bar.
Not worrying about rebuilding this as it was floating on rot would be a good thing. Anyway, the good news is I got in touch with a guy on the East coast fabricating 510 floors so hopefully this should be a somewhat less daunting task, something within our capabilities, to fix.
Also found someone else fabricating rocker panels. There is hope!
I still think you could fabricate those floor panels and rocker panels out of sheet metal and save yourself the shipping cost from the East Coast. Hell, the 66 Bug I had that would do 13’s in the quarter mile had mostly aluminum panels for floors. I totally understand if you’re going for that Concourse quality resto though.
