This is how it's done. There's barely anything there left to scrap. The taps are playing, the buglers are beginning to retire. Dang good run I'd say.

 

Edit: you missed the plastic door sills! How could you :wink:

:laugh: Good eye!

 

The screw heads were all stripped by whoever tried to take them off before we got it.

 

 

I "think" there's another set of 2door sill plates kicking around that came off this one:

(way-way-back-burner project, don't ask :laugh::crazy:)

It’s not a unibody, so a little bit different, but in my dad’s shop, most cars get full floor pans, from the firewall to the back of the trunk. You can, or use to be able to, but that whole piece for a 40 Ford. My dad recently did a 70 GTO that was from Florida that got quarters, doors, fenders, a trunk lid, outer wheelhouses, the trunk pan, a hood, and a roof skin because it was rusty. The interior floors were fixable and GM A-body rockers are galvanized, so they were fine. It’s crazy what moisture and salt does to cars.
