I have them but not installed them yet but they look really good.  Got mine from mopardave.  I have all of the floor and trunk also and put them together on the floor and they look great.
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

We have installed them with very little massaging. They fit very nicely.

That's what I want to hear. Thanks.

Is there a difference between the Goodmark and the AMD panels and what is with AMD having panels with correct flange and ones without?

The flange is for the 70 only cars. This is because there is not an inner perch to lay the pan on along the inner rockers. 71-74 have the extra perch, so no upward lip is needed.

I have sold plenty of flooring for these and have heard no issues with either manufacture, We also have installed ALL of the flooring from goodmark and AMD on 3 different 70 cuda's we are working on, the only issue was the front edge against the lower firewall, we had to dolly that a little, The only problem that probably can arise is that if the car was ever hit from the side or at the side cowl and the box dimension from rocker to rocker is out of wack, you will see irregularities from car to car, no 2 cars were minensionaly built alike.

if your interested we do have alot of e-body metal and assorted parts in stock, We also have good rate on shipping,

It took me about two weeks to install my floor, but we spent most of this time cleaning up the undercoating etc...  We installed a 1 piece panel and did not have any issues with fit, other than having to trim the seat bolt brackets so they would not hit the inner rocker panels.  We only had to remove about 3/16 of an inch to clear this.  Fire wall fit was great, as was the rocker panel.  Some gaps are present, but as you begin to weld the metal, you can work it easily to conform it to the rockers and the fire wall to get a flush/flat seam.  :2cents:

Oh yea, an air chisel makes quick work of most of the spot welds on the floor pans.  Some welds will have to be drilled and ground out with a cut off wheel or a grinder.

You can see pictures of the install on my website under the Cuda Resto Tab.

Thanks,

I had a few problems with the Goodmark rear floors.The seat belt bolt holes were in the wrong place and so was the drain plug hole.Make sure you check your old pans to the new ones before you weld them in!You can see what I had to do to fix the problems here http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=40527.30

problem here is that goodmarks rear floors are base of off 71-74, AMD has both 70 and 71-4, this also wasn't known until AMD made the 70 only rears.that is the only issue we found with goodmark vs. AMD, I have had customers replace one side only and the goodmark fit better, as a pair the AMD. ??? all comes down to mind set and personal preference and of course $$$

Was looking at your site price matching.  Why are there 2 different prices for the 70-74 LH E-Body Rear Frame Rail (Full Length - OEM Style) $389.95 and 70-74 LH E-Body Rear Frame Rail (Full Length - OEM Style) $250.00

Are you referring to my site or someone elses?  The pricing is the same on my site.

Yep you're site, there is a different price with the same write up on both sides of the pic.....just noticed that one of them has a AMD next to it, that's probably the difference
