New Project: ‘64 Valiant Wagon

You can buy floor pan sections from Auto Body Specialties. They leave a little gap under the seat where you have to save original metal if it's still good, but if it isn't....it's not that hard to fabricate. Your roof? Probably will have to fabricate that! Good luck with it, and it looks like a good save!

Yeah I’ve been looking at those pans. Problem is they’re pretty expensive for only covering part of the floor. The front part of the tunnel hump is toast, as is the part of the floor under the back seat. That whole box stiffening the car transversely where the two panels meet is rusted out.

Since it’s gonna be a lot of fabricating either way, I’m wondering if my best bet might just be to frame it out with box tubing and then just weld flat sheets in rather than trying to replicate the factory floor exactly.

As for the roof, I just patched it real quick as the car will have to remain outside. I kinda like the look!

Awesome ! I am building a 64 2 door hardtop Valiant wagon. I need the wagon only taillight housings.

@waggin was telling me he was doing the same thing. It involves grafting on a coupe midsection right?
