[QUOTE=Eddie Hansen;772168] I would also consider just replacing what needs to be replaced unless the whole floor is swiss cheese. /QUOTE]

Looking at your pics I will say it looks pretty crusty, and thinking back to when I stripped my underside, it might also be an idea to get a 1 piece floor? just thinking out loud, it may look worse then it is, until you get a wire wheel/ sand blaster in there and give it a good look.

Oh no mine is Swiss cheese even has pin holes in tunnel. But if you look through pics the bluish floor pan sitting on a trailer is good just couple small spots in it I cut it out of donor so would be original steel from firewall to trunk but gonna install in 2 peices. Sine part on mine that is good is under rear seat area from fender well to fender well. Not cutting that part out to cut down on any possible flex. Do main floor and then trunk. Thanks have a blessed day.

Well once spring gets here getting back to spot weld drilling on floor pan bought from seller here on forum. Gonna get donor floor pan prepped and ready before cutting ones out of my 68. Plan on getting back to it in week or so if weather will cooperate.

Did you end up saving the deck lid ?

Must pray for good weather! I started with my car and it started snowing nothing stuck to the ground but had to put everything away

Made decent patch panel but when welding in seam on lip started splitting rust just weakened too much so couldn't save it. Was worth a try. I don't like replacement parts so will be looking for one off donor car. Be a while before I need it. But if run across good deal prob go ahead and get one if have funds at that time. At this point just doing what I can with what I have just glad don't have to pay anyone to work on it for me so there is major blessing right there. Floor and trunk pan will be next since I have that. Engine is what working on funds for now

ok spring almost here so weather permitting will be drilling spot welds soon out of my floor pan I purchased that is much better than mine.

guess you could say got little more than floor pan. it will all be used since mine is swiss cheese.

Well finally got nice weather started drilling spot welds in donor floor pan to get it ready to install. Will post pics as soon as possible. Progress slow but at least it's progress. No funds and limited time gotta do what you can when you can and get it right.
