I was replacing the floor pan on my 68 2dr sedan and figured since the frame was open I could drop the 2x3 into the front and rear frames. I had to cut a small V on both sides of the 2x3 and bend it to close the gap then weld it, because of the offset from front to back. Then I welded the new floor in. I did have to cut the back pan so the tube does stick up through the floorboard. If any of y'all are replacing the floor boards, there is something to think about.
This is a good thread. Just in time too, because I need to weld a subframe in my 68 2dr hard top. Thanks Moparmat..good job.
Dartman, nice job and man did you work hard to do that. Did you torch cut that?
I don't know what everyones cutting with, but if you get some of the 4 1/2 cut off wheels and put them on an angle grinder, they make short work of cutting metal. I use the ones from Harbor Freight on one of their cheap grinders. Look in your Mopar mags for a coupon for those grinders. I got five of them. sanding wheel, cup wire wheel, grinding wheel, cutoff wheel, and a knot wire wheel. Saves a lot of time not having to look for and change stuff all the time.
