I can't get a simple quote for floor pans for my vert thinking about doing it my self I don't want to bit off more than I can chew what's your experience with this task? it looks straight forward cut out bad metal replace with new pan.

That's what it seems like to me. I've never actually done it, but if I knew how to weld, i would definitely do it myself.

I can weld ok, (not a master) but I know the repo medel stuff is hit or miss

Dynacorn, I think thats how you spell it, is supposed to have some really good stuff.

Thanks for the info

I have personally used some Dynacorn sheet metal & I am happy so far with the fit.

First thing be patient. Second thing buy your panel then cut out the old so you don't cut out too much the first time around. In my experience it seems I find about twice as much is bad as I saw. On that note if you can spot weld okay and take your time and run a drill a cutoff wheel a grinder and a plasma cutter if you're lucky then it's a piece of cake. Just time consuming.

what i did was buy the panel from npd in canton put it in after cutting seat risers out then marked around the edge and cut it out about 1/2 inch below the line and they slid right in with virtually no effort

I did my first floor pan last week and had no problems. Ive cut out the drivers side this week and will be installing the new drivers pan this weekend or so.

Check out your rear torque boxes while your at it.

Is it necessary to remove the seat platforms to change the floorpans? You can also get floorpan sections that just do forward and aft of the seat platform. Is this a better way of doing things? Floorpans are next on my to do list.

On a vert necessary to cut out seat platform its one piece. I did on my 1966 found it pretty easy to do - hardest part was welding underside to rockers. Make sure you you brace up and try to get level if doing full floor. I would do full floor if both pans are needed - I think it a cleaner install.

It depends on how much rust you have. When I did my drivers side floor I was able to leave the seat pan as the rust was mostly in the toe board. On the passenger side I wasn't as lucky. I needed to drill out the spot welds on the front and sides of the seat pan to lift it up, leaving the rear edge welded to the floor. I replaced the floor pan about 1 inch index the seat pan and pushed it back down and welded it in place.
