The floors don't look bad at all from the pictures, why did you replace them , or was their hidden rott we can't see in the pictures? Most likely the case, damage that was done by the previous ownership. Passenger floor pan had rot where it overlapped the frame rail, right under the seat brackets. The drivers side probably could have been saved. It had some rot where it met the firewall and a few big dents I was worried would never fully come clean. Gambled replacing the entire panel would be quicker than all the smaller jobs.

(use a endoscope, sometimes the lower part of the inner plate in the beam is completely gone, and it makes the changing a wheel with a normal jack a desaster.) Take a look in the servicemanuals.. It's gonna be a nice car!! Absolutely, I’ve got special pucks I made with a notch down the middle to slide over these jack points for the 2 post Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68167-building-up-hls30-59920/?&page=4#findComment-653109 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t want to cross over the fuel lines with it as they’re routed right above the clutch line. I’m getting really good at making simple things harder.

June 27, 20231 yr Author Popular Post comment_654538 Getting color on the body. Previously on the fuel tank we sprayed the top coat with Raptor Liner, reduced enough so you could use a traditional HVLP gun. This gave a very fine texture, similar to what’s on the dash. Really liked the finish so we replicated the same procedure with the underside of the car in the factory color.
