Has anyone out there made complete floor pans for the GT? My 72 needs floor pans and dont really want to thru Suselbeek for the complete floor pans. If anyone has fabricated these before or even has a pattern or a blueprint for them that I can fab them (I work in a metal fabricating shop at home) I would appreciate it. Someone let me know if this has been done or can be done for me and then let me know of a price.

I could also use the rear quarters, only need the partial ones, if anyone has them. Oh yeah, also the rocker panels....

. I mainly need the floor pans at the moment.

Thanks
Toby

Toby...

We should have talked today...we have a set already cut out that you could use for a pattern!

And, I believe we really have these in the barn, unlike the hood that is MIA LOL

I am looking to purchase the equipment to make the floorpans as close to the factory style as possible, so most can weld in without do any major changes and making it hard to notice. There has been a question as to the correct thickness of the floorpan metal between years???? Never could get enough responce to determine what is correct and if there were different thicknesses used. Maybe later in my journey I will make it a point to check any and all I can.

22 or 20 shoudl work thats what I do the battery boxes for the Manta in.. Could overkill and do them in 18. Thats really stiff.

For floors I have just gotten straight sheetmetal from a sheetmetal fab shop scrap pile and beat to fit.

The problem with replacing floor pans is that there's usually more damage than just the floor pans. Often the inner rockers are bad and the rust extends up front under the pedals and to the rear. It can easily extend back to the rear jack point. I formed mine out of 16 guage material that I bought from a local fab shop. I bent it with a home made sheet metal brake, a vice and hammers. I did have the shop roll a 16 guage piece that I used to form the inner rockers.
