New Project: ‘64 Valiant Wagon
Yeah I’ve been looking at those pans. Problem is they’re pretty expensive for only covering part of the floor. The front part of the tunnel hump is toast, as is the part of the floor under the back seat. That whole box stiffening the car transversely where the two panels meet is rusted out.
Since it’s gonna be a lot of fabricating either way, I’m wondering if my best bet might just be to frame it out with box tubing and then just weld flat sheets in rather than trying to replicate the factory floor exactly.
As for the roof, I just patched it real quick as the car will have to remain outside. I kinda like the look!
@waggin was telling me he was doing the same thing. It involves grafting on a coupe midsection right?
