anyone make replacement floor pans for 1st gens? Victoria british maybe?



or can i just cut a piece of metal and replace it?



im sure im not the only one with some rusted floors. pull your rug up, im sure its there...

 

I think you need to make them i never herd of a place tha sale's them.

 

victoria might as they have a **** house full of aftermarket sheat metal parts for a wide arangment of vehicals, there the same company that is LMC

 

o yea that nice im going to look that up

 

post a link if theres a site...

 

could i just cut the floors out like i outlined in the pics...



than cut a piece of 3/16 inch steel to match and weld it in???

 

3/16"?? Good grief, what are you making? A battleship?



If you can't find 'em, you'll have to make 'em, but I would use 18 ga. steel. I think that's 0.040", or a little less than 3/64".

 

i was thinking of using 3/16 inch steel cause the stock floors have have those indents and humps for strength. i was making up for it with thicker metal...



you really think 3/16 is wayt to thick? i am 200lbs. are you experienced in this?

 

Well, I did just weld some new pans in my '66 Chevy II. They are readily available, and are about the same thickness as original, which is around 18 ga.



Once the new pan is securely welded to the surrounding metal, you'll find that it's plenty strong.



If you can cut and shape the 3/16, then use it. The only disadvantage would be weight.

 

yeah...i dont want to add any weight.



im gonna try 18ga steel. they sell that at home depot/lowes?
