    uhm... that's what the others were referring to in your other thread. you replaced the whole floor pan, together with the mounting platform for the seats. you will run into issues when you try to get you seats back in...

    Yesterday...I got the 8.8 pulled back out so I can cut off the spring perches and put them where they need to go...also got the TKO put in to see how much more clearancing I need to do. Planned on finishing the clearancing today, but...lucky me got to work instead!

    Should go back in easy.. Just have to modify it a little and make new seat brackets, which is a couple hours work. Brackets for sliders are simple to make.. Had to make them for the original pans. Mustang ones should be easy.
