Sigh. Rust. Please chime in with sources for good floor pans. . .

. . .and spare tire well metal.

I finally got mine up high enough to start the inspection process and "Bingo!"- I will have to replace the driver's and passenger's floor pans. Considered glassing them in but got talked out of it- my wife is a purist. Me, Southern Engineering degree with a Major in minimizing cash outlays. . .

Anyway, I am looking on the bright side- it means I get to buy still more neat tools to do the job right!

I browsed the tech articles and various posts- looked at Sherman's, Autobodies, et al. What is your take on a source of good metal replacement?

Appreciate everyone's help and input!

PS: Next question will be: techniques and what wire welder to get!

You should put this in the General discussion forum. Most of everyone
checks out that forum.

im using a little 110 lincoln welder. Its gasless and works great on thin CLEAN metal. If it starts to splatter too bad, you can buy anti splatter in a spray can.

67-69 Cuda? You looking for something like this?

I have that and a complete trunk pan.

AMD gets $430 for a floor pan and another $300 for a trunk pan. I think even just the trunk center from some places is in the $150-185 range. My stuff is roughly half the price of the repop parts. Shipping from the vendors is going to hurt as well.

IMO, none of the repop stuff is as good as original pieces.

I can ship the stuff via greyhound bus in one piece pretty reasonable. There is a terminal in Temple that can receive the parts!
