Most of my braces under the car are, lets say well loved. Body guy wants to get replacements. Anyone do these for the 66 Barracuda/valiant/dart, or is it something we need to fabricate?

Plenty of those get parted out here. Post a wanted ad and I'm sure you'll get some in no time
What do i call them? Just under floor braces? Seat reinforcements?

I wouldn't be surprised if Lee Robinson has some of these. I'd give him a hollar.
Heck , a good body man could have those back in shape in no time.
He is trying to avoid the time if the hourly cost of fixing it is more than just welding in a replacement of new piece of sheet metal.... Not his fault as he is spoiled by working on lots of shelbys, and expensive stuff where literally EVERYTHING is available off the shelf. I am just impressed ANYTHING is available as when I first started working on this car in the early 1980's there was NOTHING generally available except in a junk yard....
I IM'd him...awaiting a reply..

Your body man told you to find replacements? It would take about as long to cut the old ones out and weld in replacements.
Those are not even that bad. They could easily be straightened out with hammer and dolly, welded up at the tears, and you wouldn't be able to tell they were ever damaged. Might be faster than replacing them?
