Floors in a '36....

After 4 months of waiting, the floor pans finally showed up!  I have to say that I am fairly satisfied with them.


So this is basically what I had to start with.  When I received the car, this was all covered with galvanized sheetmetal and bondo.  In fact, some of the bondo is still there in the picture filling the large gaping hole.

The best thing to do is cut it all out...



Once the rust was gone, I set the floors in to get an idea what needed to be done and as you can imagine, nothing fit well....


The rockers didn't even come close.  How can companies sell this stuff?



But after a couple hours of fitting, grinding, cutting and massaging, they are starting to lay in fairly decently.



Time for the passenger side....
