I must be blind...How the heck does this panel fit the old pan??

Did they send the right part? Usually i line up the dimples in the floor pan to see where aboots should go

Welcome to FABO. Perhaps you could show us a pic of the part in another position, like out on the shop floor, so we can see the shape of it overall. Something doesn't look right.
P.S. 4 speed? Yellow? what have you got there? We need pics!

Well, the mysterie is solved. I was shipped the wrong part. I should have the new pan by Monday

It's a numbers matching 1970 Dart Swinger 340 4 speed. FY1 flat black hood treatment with dual scoops and ofcourse the scat pack rear stripe. It's actually my high school car I bought back in 1987. I drove it for 2 years then had to sell it when I went into the Navy. Fast forward to 2008 when I was able to buy it back. It sat long enough and is now getting some much needed attention.

Awesome! I was thinkin' right along those lines. Can't wait to see another '70, 4 speed being saved.

The engine is at the engine builder getting redone. Nothing crazy though. I'm guessing around 415 hp. The axle housing is being blasted. I have new axles upgrading to a 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern. I have a master power 4 wheel disc brake left over from a different build.

My daughter asked if she would be able to drive my Dart since she is 17 (the same age I was when I drove her) Sooo... I am working feverishly to get her back on the road. I will do quarters and outer wheelhouse in the future.
