after pulling the carpet up on my 68 i found 1 wrench 1 utility knife and 2 license plates either screwed or epoxied to the car, fantastic!!!!
the pans are pretty bad all the way around, from an expense side is it better to replace the pans individually or just put 1 full pan the is the whole bottom of the car? i do plan on keeping the car a long time and driving daily. i see the whole pan for less than 400$ but what should i expect to pay in labor?

i have instelled several of these, about the same in labor, if all goes well, and there are no other surprises,,pay atttention to the inner rockers and front of the rear frame rails,,common issues,,where are you located

southern indiana, how about cost for labor?

Also have to look at your kickboards, I dont think those are part of the floor pan. But usually need attention if the front pans are gone.

Send me pics, i will get you in the right direction, I have a JIG for the first gen F body that i have built 4 cars on, on issues of flex and NO concerns of measurements. I have the measurements.I can build you an entire floor if needed, within 1/16 of an inch, of factory...please dont get hosed form some body shop that wants big dollars for sheelmetal work..:beers:
