Posted July 21, 20186 yr comment_553563 After crawling around under the 73z I can see that the floor pans and the rails up to the firewall need to be replaced. The engine bay and firewall are ok but I need the stuff from the firewall to the rear. It is pocked with rusted out holes. The problem is that the an undercoat had been applied to the car when it was new and that provided a means to trap water leading to rust. So rather than cleaning up the engine bay and putting the motor and tranny back in I need to bite the bullet and replace the floor pan. Any recommendations where to get that stuff?

July 21, 20186 yr comment_553586 John aka Baddog is great but to the best of my knowledge he doesn't make floor pans. He does make some nice plates for beefing up the front end though Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/60426-floor-pan-and-rails-on-73-z-where-to-get-parts/#findComment-553586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
