Floor pan replacement???

bigbubbatex · 04-28-2007, 03:33 PM

Hi--new to the forum and finally bought a 66 coupe. Does anyone know a place in the Dallas area that will replace floor pans?

mine are pretty bad, mostly missing in the front.
But I am planning to try to do it myself. Though my welding skills are none. The sheet metal is quite cheap, and I think I can borrow a wire welder.
If I ruin the new metal, then I might take it. Plus it is the floor, most won't see it, as long as it is solid.

Anyway, planning to get started soon, I have a 65 Coupe, 289 auto. dream of 427 Windsor/6 speed, but that is much later, too much other stuff to do.

Rust has really attacked it, may not actually be worth the repair, but it is my first car, owned it for 17 years, and don't want to get rid of her.
