Replacing Floor Pan???

    I have a 68 GS400 convertible. I am currently doing a restoration. The floor pan needs to be replaced under the bucket seats, from rocker to rocker. Where the body mounts bolt in, there are holes all the way through the floor and braces.

    I have a 68 skylark conv parts car with a good floor... The remainder of the parts car is sold, dismantled, or not worth keeping. I am thinking that I would like to replace from the front joint of the floor pan to the middle of the brace behind the bucket seats.

    Can someone offer advise, directions, pictures, or anything else on 'how' to replace this section of floor? What works and what doesn't... I am thinking about cutting the entire cowl/firewall off the parts car, then cutting straight across the rear floor. Then, cut to fit in my GS. My big issue would be how to cut my GS floor and braces away from the rockers and be able to put it back together successfully.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Gil

    Wow, you must have a lot of time on your hands. Not worth the time to cut out from one and weld into another. Get new parts from www.tabcobodyparts.com They also carry the mid brace

    The pans are relatively cheap. Just buy the driver's side and remove the part you need. You probably can sell the remaining piece to offset your cost.
