Well, I'm far from a good welder, it's kinda hit and miss, plus my mig welder is dying a slow death. Since It was a holiday today thought I'd give it a go.... Thank goodness, I'm good with a grinder, a little clean up and it'll be fine.....A little gap filling, and I'll be happy.
Ah hell thats about what my patches look like. Just takes a bit more to clean em up thats all. Fits nice though.
Thanks!, They are just the generic 64-70 short floor pans, but since Mustangs are wider, I rebent the side to center it up between the rocker and the frame rail.
I like that idea. I also have to add the inside curved piece like you did. My toe panels need to go farther, but they can be just flat sheet metal also.
I tried to make it look like they did from the factory, so I make the front piece separate, and gave it a small lip, so when you look under the car, it looks factory. I sprayed some weldthru primer on the welds, just to stop any rust, it'll be next week before I get back to it.
I like the overlap, sure does look factory. Nice! CJ Pony parts has some panels on sale. Just ordered a complete 1965-70 coupe driver's side floor pan, so I can do my front repair and my rear repair. Also a 1965-70 short passenger front panel. $78 bucks, all to my door. You are inspiring Dave! Now to tell the wife...
$78 for both? I forget what I payed for mine, I bought them a few years ago now, at NPD. I was just looking, I bought this car in 2009...I've been draggin my a$$ on this one, my Green car was done in less than 3 years....But between life & work, it is was it is...
Yep, $78.24 for both. Free UPS ground. I did not price NPD... No worries Dave, I just looked at the first post of my project page... August 2009.
Good to see ya making progress..... You got the panels fitting nice..... Welding sheet metal is no picnic at any time, never mind if you welder is acting up..... As stated earlier when the welds are a little rough it just requires a little more clean up.....
Looks really good to me. When I get older I might do mine Looks like we have identical ball peens.. down to the 23 yr old handles .
I picked this up the other day, while in Detroit. Since there was nothing on TV today, I figured I'd lay it out, and see what it looked like... Before I knew it, this happened.... So, it was the point of no return..... A little more trimming and fitting, and I'll start welding it in.
