1966 Dart "Rustoration"
long story short ... nearly a year has gone by and i bought a welder, discovered how awesome cleco fasteners are, broke down and got a good spot weld cutter, bought the rear most floor pan section from a member here, and installed the rear floor pan sections and US car tool frame connectors.
i hope to have the front floor pans done by the end of the month and will do all the remaining welds and finish work then. after that its all down hill - fuel system, brakes, wiring.
for those that have never done sheet metal work (like me ) i would say if you have average or better fabrication skills its really easy to replace the floor pans.
