Default tackling the floorpans

hey everyone. ive got a 66 mustang coupe. its completely gutted and im replacing the floor pans with the complete floor pan from NPD. i was wondering if there were any tips on getting the floor pan inside to weld up. go through the windows? underneath the car? through the drivers/passenger side doors? any advice is appreciated.

With the side pans, you can go through the open door. If you are doing the full 1-piece floor, you'll have to come up from underneath.

yes its the full one piece. coming up from underneath may be hard because of the temp supports on it

I didn't tackle the one piece just for that reason. Make sure you keep the car properly supported especially if you have the entire floor already cut out. If you have the front windshield out, will it fit through there? Not sure if the one piece is too rigid for that though.......

yes. the welder thought it would be possible to go through the side but he thought it would hit the windshield. the windshield is still in but i have to take it out anyways since there is a crack in it. i think taking it out and manuevering it through the side and windshield might be the best bet. thanks for the thoughts. this is going to be an experience.
