Default "Correct" One piece floor pan for a 65?

I was ready to do the one piece pan till I realized the one I was going to get does not have the parking brake curved pieces stamped into it. Does anyone make the correct pan for the 65?

Is the 1 piece really needed? ie is the center trany tunnel rotted out? If the tunnel is in good shape just do the L/R floor pans.

With all due respect, that puts seams in the car that were not originally there, most of the time when I see partial floor-pans installed they look like an amateur attempt at best with overlapping welds and gobs of various types of sealers, and yet some owners will spend big money on brakes and suspension and bolt it to a patchwork quilt of a car.

If you have one bad spot I could see a repair, but it really needs to be butt welded in place and treated like a roof repair, by the time you need to do three or four spots I cant see it ever being a good idea to repair.

It's my opinion that partial floors are not doing it right.

Yes, there are a couple of floors that have the correct 65 design. I have seen them in use at Glazier Nolan.
