How did the carpet fit after? i dont have any carpet as ill be getting new stuff and im about to put in full mustang pans. i know the carpet is pre-made to fit so...how bad does the carpet actually look? i also tried to look for measurements on the size of mustangs...didn't find anything plus i doubt they would be similar anyways.
what does this mean? are you cutting out the tunnel and all? I used the...patch pans... and cut them to fit the Maverick floor pans. carpet fit as stock.
I wouldn't cut the whole floor out without having the car supported in a lot of places. The floor pan is part of the structural integrity on a unibody car. I heard and seen pics of a car folding enought that the doors wouldn't fit any more.
If you look at the Mustang pans where you are replacing one side, notice that there is no riser for the seat. The pan is flat from front to rear. Mav pans kick up for the seat tracks. So I imagine a one piece formed carpet set may have a mis-match there. It may settle after a while, too.
It will be supported.. There just no way I can do the patch panel as the PO did an ugly disgusting hack job of a patch that includes a fair bit of roofing tar and sheet metal not welded - cutting it all out is doing this car a favor.. It's gonna crumple if I don't cut it all out.. May aswell try and fix it so in the future it won't.. I will be leaving the tunnel alone as it is in good shape. So my floors will be looking like mustang ones and I'll have to make custom brackets.. I hope it doesn't fall apart, the driver side will be coming out after work tomorrow..
Just do one side at a time and you will be good. There wasn't much left of my floor pan in my falcon but what was there helped a little holding it together
The driver side is the worst and I'm doing it first.. A little reassurance sure helps. Once this side is done there will be a ton of structure to the car..and it should last forever. Just gotta get some por-15..or something of the sort.. And some type of seam sealer.. Are the tubes of sealer for caulking Guns good? Or should I use a brush on type
Most important thing is to remove your fuel line that runs under the drivers side floor!!!!!!!! I found that if you are not removing the torque box then having the car either sitting on all 4 wheels or supported as if it were on all 4 wheels you should be fine! Be prepared.....don't be surprised if you run into to more rust! Have fun.....i have to do my passenger side floor and torque box this winter.
I hear Brush-on is better. I couldn't find it local so I used the tube and brushed it on. and supported between the wheels or it will droop in the middle and the doors won't close.
