MId floor board availability
« on: July 06, 2010 - 10:58:04 PM »
I need to replace the mid front floor (section that the bucket seats bolt too), does anyone make it or do I have to buy the 2 front floor board halves or the complete front floor board? Oh it's for a 70 Challenger.

as far as i know a mid section doesn' exist.  You can get front or rear footwell areas in side or single panels or buy a complete front floor pan.   If you post a picture of the area you need to replace, we can better help you to find the best panel to use.

Nope, nothing in the middle. I have also seen short front pans, but they end even shorter ( farther away from rear footwell) than the full length pan.
If I cant fix it, it's broke

I was afraid of that. I searched everywhere and haven't found anything yet. Below is a picture of the area I am refering too.

you have 2 choices:

1) buy the 2 front floor pan half panels (left / right) and cut/butt weld the areas to replace
2) buy the complete front floor pan (one piece) and work on the original spot welds

I would go with AMD for the compelte pan or Sherman (cheaper) if you dcide to just replace the two areas.

Alright, well I will have to think about it. I will probably just go with the 2 pans and weld those in and save the $300 or so.
