Default Re: 1936 ford body help

I had my 36 5 w on the frame,lined all the bolt holes up supporting the body to frame,using what ever to keep the body in position,cut out the old rockers and floor taking measurements before cutting out the old parts.rebuilt the rocker strips front to back.then layed the new floor pans in working with the transmission cover in place as a guide and the tunnel in place for the length ,take time and get things square,then drill and use sheet metal screws to hold everything ,maybe hang doors to check for fit,.I then drilled the sub rails and plug welded to floor pan and tunnel remove screws and weld up holes.there are raised pla es on the new pans that should line up with the frame rails .,in the middle of new pans,these are a good guide to align the pans also before drilling for sheet metal screws make sure you get the frame rails centered in these bosses of floor pan.I believe I had to trim a small amount on the outer sides to get a good fit,hope this helps some.
