Floor Pan Repairs
Posted by 53 Cavalier On 2024/2/24 11:34:42
While I have my interior out I have a few floor pan repairs I want to do. The floor pretty is pretty solid otherwise. The problem areas are the front driver's body mount, which is rusted through, and where the front seat regulators bolt down are also a problem. I think these are typical problem locations.
Underneath most of the braces are okay, with the exception of the ends of two front drivers braces, which are rotten. (Better than my parts car, all of them on both sides are rotted right off.)
I don't suspect these are available for a Packard, like they are other other cars, but if someone knows of somewhere I can source these let me know. I may go check a few parts cars and see if I can salvage a couple, and if I don't have any luck I'll fab them up from scratch.
It's always dangerous to start poking rusty spots!
Two of the pictures below are a brace for a Chev, for illustration only.
