    1965 mustang body work, Complete Floor Pan Assembly install questions

    Yes. It also has seat belt mounts on it too. Both of those had to be convinced to slip past the outer rocker when installing.

    1965 mustang body work, Complete Floor Pan Assembly install questions

    Thanks for the tip. We are going to try to put it in this weekend. We're using that and where the old one was and where the old floor pan was (but not much of that is left). As an update, we got it in. (Just in, not welded yet.) Lots of jacking, pushing and hammering to get it to the right...

    1965 mustang body work, Complete Floor Pan Assembly install questions

    Mine looks close to that. We cut out the dual exhaust hangers (original GT car) and put them on the new pan. Seat mounting brackets too. Exchause the poor welds. I took a few classes, but my dad always makes me do them, even though he is way better. Pictures attached.

    1965 mustang body work, Complete Floor Pan Assembly install questions

    There is no floor pan, all gone. My dad's primary question is how high/low to put the new complete pan in. Easy match front to back. What reference points do you use to level the car, and what point to level the floor pan? Than, what points to measure that the pan is at the correct...

    1965 mustang body work, Complete Floor Pan Assembly install questions

    Hi everyone. I haven't logged on in a really long time. Long story shorter (back story part), life got in the way with my Father/Son 1965 mustang project. (I'm the son. My dad is the body shop guy, 20 years of collision repair.) Most of the work I'm talking about was done 10 plus years ago...

    Complete floor assembly (full floor pan all the way to the trunk)

    Sorry for the lack of updates, but lots of life things got in the way. We kind of decided to take our time and let as much rust or anything show up that we could and we worked on other parts of the car. Last weekend we sand blasted it, sanded it, wipped it down and painted it. The "snot"...

    Replacement Rear Seat Bracket (fastback)

    I want to make sure we are talking about the same part, it is the one that is like 12 inches long that is on the side, not the little guy that sticks up in the front/middle of the seat. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. I'm tired from freeing up all of the seat mounts and the dual exhaust...

    Replacement Rear Seat Bracket (fastback)

    I'm working on pulling up the rear seat mounts to transfer to a new floor pan. The rear seat mounts (long skinny bracket) on each side are in rough shape. They look to have "11 25 2" stamped in them. (Hard to see in the rust.) I have a fastback, but I think this part is the same for...

    Complete floor assembly (full floor pan all the way to the trunk)

    Ok, we are going to re-prime this hunk of rust. (It just keeps getting worse and popping up all over it.) My suggestion is to AVOID this item unless you plan to reprime it right away. :( What do you guys suggest for the spots we can get to: (top/bottom/side/etc) The spots we can't get...

    Complete floor assembly (full floor pan all the way to the trunk)

    We got it from CJ ponyparts and are well outside of the 60days. What would I tell the seller? Either way, with the risk of the "snot" marks aka corrosion all on its own, I would strongly advise others to avoid this product unless you really don't want to do all the welding or you...

    Complete floor assembly (full floor pan all the way to the trunk)

    Sorry for the lack of updates... still working on a way to make sure we have the car fully supported AND we can get the assembly in it. We tried a few things and the first couple tries we weren't happy with. Right now it is on 6x6s with a 2x6 under that (more for proper height to come off...

    HiPo or not?

    What are the date codes on the heads and are they close to the block?

    289 ?

    The only difference between the A code and C code cars is a 4br carb/intake and flat top pistons that upped the compression. The intake will likely be "C6OE-9425-B". This is the engineering year, NOT the date stamp. You'll have to check that too. That will be like 4D11 which stands for 1964...

    Complete floor assembly (full floor pan all the way to the trunk)

    I agree on knocking out the old inner rockers (they also are looking pretty nasty). What I was thinking was to create a craddle that supported the outter rockers on both sides, but the right/left sides of the craddle have to be connected to as not to flex in/out. But that was where the outter...

    Complete floor assembly (full floor pan all the way to the trunk)

    Santa was late and finally showed up. :) Please note that it showed up on some extra framing/bracing like for shipping. We will have to somehow manage to get the floor brancing for the dual exhaust out... anyone have any ideas of how to make it work with seat belts...

    New guy, things to look for?

    A bit of a warning, you are being told these cars are every bit as good as a new car, which is true. You still are buying a long time used car with a past and until that "past" (of problems) is fully known, you get what you get. Lastly, the "cheapness" is also half because we think YOU...

    Want to go from a 6 to V8?

    I can see buying this if you need a lot of hand holding and pictures. (But then maybe you should get a friend or pay someone to do it.) Or you have money burning a hole in your wallet.

    Complete floor assembly (full floor pan all the way to the trunk)

    Either that, or I am guessing that since so little is left of the car, we may be fitting the car to it.
