floor pans
[sm=badbadbad.gif]whats up my fellow stangers. I finally made it over to the dark side. I am finally a proud owner of a awesome 68 coupe. Replacing in line 6 with fuel injected 302. Right now i am replacing the front and back floor pan on the drivers side. Any advice from fellow stangers would be great.
i removed old rusted piece and have the full length one piece ready to bewelded in. Should i clean the metal up and prime (etch) or should i get the POR 15 kit or can i do both?

POR = paint over rust
I would take the lazy way out and clean it up a bit then use the por 15. some sound deadener. then carpet. then a 12 pack of newcastle.

RE: floor pans
Yes, get ride of ALL the rust or it will come back to haunt you and it will make the welding alot easier too.
When I replaced both full side of ours. The first floor pans I bought for our Mustang were the ones that are made in Canada and I hate to say it but they SUCKED. They were to long for one thing. By about 1 1/2" or so. And they did not have some of the bends in them up at the front. The second ones I bought were the ones from ( I hate to say this also but
) Taiwan and they fit like a glove. Good luck and remember when you are going the floors in yours you are having fun.
