The quarters had skins. I had to take them off and put all new quarter panels on that car. The bottom door Striker was rotting away also the front door pillar with bad so I had to replace everything.
ya buddy my first love building hot rods!!!! go a 46 Chevy truck I am working on now! well done brother enjoyed the video keep up the good work my friend! best of luck to you and yours cheers Nathan
Dog is my co-pirate awesome Nathan I knew I liked you from the start.😁 I have been working on cars since I was a kid. The oldest truck I had was a Willy's utility body 1953 pickup. I restored it about two years after that I needed some money so I sold it. Now I miss it. ATB
Thanks Glen. I appreciate your kind words. I'm glad you liked the video and hopefully you subscribed.. I have a video on that installing a Reproduction Foor Pan. It shows in detail on how that floor pan looks with the braces and the Rockers. yes I did purchase it from OPGI thanks for commenting. all the best my friend. good luck with your project!!!
Starting on a 1970 GTO that the floor pan is in similar condition as yours. However the rockers appear to be in good condition. Is it possible to do a one piece floor pan replacement without removing the rockers?
I'm not sure about a 70 GTO , but they do make one for 68-69 A body from OPGI without rockers. Go to their website you might find one there for 70. Good luck let me know if you find anything. All the best.
SantaClaus HawkeyeNJ thanks for stopping by appreciate it I'm glad you enjoyed it I've been trying to get more videos out. the work is slow and tedious. All the best my friend
Someone asked me the same question not that long ago. Yes, I suggest you take it off the frame to do the proper job. Getting the floor pan to mate under the door pillar is very difficult. All the best
Dude your project is about as bad as mine. I think drilling spot welds is one of the worse things ever! By the looks of it you should have just got all the new sheet metal and welded it together and had a bon fire to celibrate! :)
Yeah I should have. But I think the car came out really nice still have a lot of work to do to it. Keep changing my mind on how to do things. Now I'm thinking of putting shaved door handles on. Trunk popper and remove all the key holes. Thanks for commenting all the best
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I did notice some movement in the rear quarter panels and trunk. When I remove the floor. I just wanted to make sure. I did not want to have a problem reinstalling the floor pan and the trunk pan. All the best my friend
The quarters were good, but you needed access to properly weld where the quarters were blocking ?

I need to replace complete floor in my 1968 chevelle so this video will help me.
Definitely. If you follow my videos from the beginning, I show you exactly how I do everything to replace the floor pan. All the best
Looking for a picture how you reinforced the body before you took the floor out. I'm installing the same floor
Check out this video that I made. It shows you a little bit of the bracing. I did not focus on that part. I hope this helps let me know. All the best

You should put the floors in before the rockets it helps keep it square
The floor pan that I bought had the Rockers installed.

Nice job Can I ask where the full floor pan with rockers came from OPG? And does it come with the braces underneath ALSO?
Thanks Glenn

Dude to much bracing I put full floors in those cars all the time it won't move on you if it does it's very little the floor will bring it back
