Posted March 28, 20169 yr comment_490760 Just received a call from the paint shop asking me for new floor pans and rolling boards. Who sells high quality and thick metal gauge floor pans and rolling boards? Are MSA Quality reliable?

March 28, 20169 yr comment_490797 Zedd Findings for the win! Floor pans anyways. I don't think he does the running boards. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/54801-1972-datsun-240z-floors-and-rolling-boards/#findComment-490797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 28, 20169 yr Author comment_490806 Well i hereby attach the surprise i found after the paint shop decided to really get into the metal. Can someone advise what parts should i replace from the pics i took today. The floor pans and support rail definitely. Dog Legs? Wheel Arches? Member?

March 28, 20169 yr comment_490812 Floor Pans,yes, Rockers, probably, and you never really showed the Dog Legs. Wouldn't be unusual to replace them also. Can't see the extent of the Rocker rot, I say go big and do it all. Patch the front wheel wells and check your frame rails. Call it a normal day in Z land.

March 29, 20169 yr comment_490861 General rule of thumb, If there is a hole where it used to be solid, it's probably a good thing to repair it. So the next rust hole you come across, either patch it or replace it. That is about as specific as I am willing to offer.

Hi Gwri8, Just ordered both floors and support rails from Zeddfindings in Canada and both rocker panel from EBay. I hope the shop doesnt ask for anything else and start patching any other hole. Some people are just lazy to patch! http://www.datsunzparts.com/ Do you know how to apply the POR-15 on both of these floors and rocker panels once the car is prepared? Any instructional video or suggestion?

March 31, 20169 yr comment_491218 I appreciate the OP's enthusiasm here but seriously..... only so much hand holding can be expected! OP: Google is your friend, research the threads on this topic in this and many other forums, join a local car club.... You will get much better responses and support from members here if you are not asking for information and instructional videos on how to put your pants on.... PS: Excellent choice in the Zedd Findings products Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/54801-1972-datsun-240z-floors-and-rolling-boards/#findComment-491218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
