71-72 rear footwell floor sections needed

As the convertible project throws me curveball after curveball, I'm starting to feel like I'm drowning in rust... I bought some super clean floor sections from a member here, and my body guy decided to tell me that they were too long (from a 4 door car) AFTER he hacked them and made the rear floor sections look like... well... I'll just say he did the best he could with the materials he had.

Anyway long story short, I need the rear footwell sections, with the correct contours, cut just in front of the drain holes, and then over the rear body mount support.

Yes, I know I can order them new, but tis the season, and I figure I can pad a fellow Olds members Christmas fund a little.

Anyone have any, new or clean used?

I will be parting/cutting up some parts cars this winter. How big of a hurry are you in? Is '70 different?

Well the guy that is helping me (using his garage) is about to deploy and I have less than 30 days to score something. 1970 should be the same.

Don't rush on my account, I have a few irons in the fire, and I don't want anyone to jump through hoops to run out and part something. I'm hoping for some just "sitting around" not being used.

Nah Brian, your pans were spot on. It was the larger floor pans. It's MY fault. I gave them off to the guy doing the work and probably forgot to tell him they were from a 4 door car and needed to be sectioned. And since he started from the front and fit them BEFORE he fit the seat pans... that was when he was like... "oh fudge"
