On the 26th, Vic called me on the phone to inform me that my trans and exhaust needed to be removed so that the left floor board could be finish. With that, I went to the shop and pulled my trans and exhaust out. The next two pictures are the floors in progress. The right front toe pan is finished and the whole left floor pan is removed.
January 31st, 2007
The floor boards are complete and from the undercarriage, they have a correct stock appearance. It is very hard to tell if these floor were ever replaced. Now, I can re-install the transmission and exhaust and fire up the car again!!! Over the next few days, the block sanding and body alignment can commence. After that paint!!!!
