Beautiful Job!

Next on the list is to work on the floor pans.
The 1st thing I have to do is patch the rear seat pan.

Then transfer the patch to a piece of sheet metal

then bend the wing (black line)

Then I put an offset in the sheet metal (were the black line is) just like the original

 

[mopar4don]

Here is the patch tacked in

and finished

You do great metal work, like always.

Here is an example of the area I need. close-up pics will help as I may have to make one???

Grabbed these before I came in for lunch..

 

[mopar4don]

Thanks Wayne!
Is this were you show the 2-3/4 inch height?

 

[dadsbee]

No, right at the top. That is the passenger side with the tape on it, right at the top edge of the bracket. From the over axle pan straight out to back side of seat brace.

 

[mopar4don]

you mean here?

 

[dadsbee]

LOL.. probably about the same but here is where i measured... Probably right around 2 5/8 when it comes right down to it.

 

[mopar4don]

Thanks Wayne!
Man I have GOT to find that bracket!

 

[mopar4don]

Back to the floors.....
The pans fit great!

Next I transferred the edge of the frame rails to the pan so I could drill the holes for plug welding.

Then I applied the weld thru primer

Then I did a LOT of plug welding

Looks good to see nice floors back in your car.
