RE: Floor Pan Replacement



Got my work cut out for me.........  ; )  Somehow I imagined this being stamped in America - nope - made in Taiwan.  Sure is light - can pick up the panel with a gloved finger in two drain holes...........  20 gage (.036)

Did make new bench seat brkts mounts last night, for 3" more leg room.  With them set at the max 2" back OEM setting, that's a possible 5" back from the fwd most OEM setting.  All bolted to the adjusting sliders and will try the bench seat in the wagon tonight if we get a break the rain.  First real rain we have had in months - that's saying something for Seattle...........

Subject: Re: Floor Pan Replacement

There used to be several articles online at Mopar Action with floor replacement tips. Maybe not now, so take a look at this article. 1967 Plymouth, but still a B-body. 
http://www.hotrod.com/articles/1967-plymouth-belvedere-how-to-replace-the-floor-in-a-classic-mopar/

Not sure about the seat question. The "keep it simple" rule leans toward rebuilding the bench seat. But I'm sure adding bucket is doable with enough custom fab. 

Thanks.
