    and the ledgendary interior that will go in it. I got new floor braces from Poston's and they fit fine. I got the floor pans and trunk pans from Goodmark but I think they have 2 different sets. I would go with the more expensive stuff. I think it fits better. They also have the braces but I didnt know I needed them until the floor was cut out. If you look at the frame you will be able to tell where they go.

    I cant even begin to tell you how impressed and grateful I am! You are really doing it right. I am curious those first photos you posted is the body on the frame at that point? I do not have the room, time or $$ to do the body off, I know that it is what should be done and I guess I would like to at some time in the future.
    I didn't see the other option for floor pans at Goodmark got any clues on how to opt for them? The braces are another issue, I know that the body mount will determine the placement of the front brace but the second brace, I think only attaches to the rocker and some of that is gone, I am guessing I will have to make up a template for the rear brace based on the seat bolt holes. That was another question I had; do the cross braces have the weld nuts etc already attached for the seats and do the pans have the holes pre punched for such things?
    That car of yours is a mighty good inspiration for me! That thing is going to be/is beautiful! Hope you can post finished photos soon!

    Thank You so much!
    What a great resource this is!

    Adam, A fool and his money are easily parted!!!!!!!!

    It all started as a repaint and a couple of small rust bubbles.

    Here is what it was like before the money started to disappear. I could have just bought a new Ford Cobra Mustang! NOT!!!!!
