floor pans for the g body cars

[in d nile]

Everything matched up very nice,from the firewall seam to the back seat area. Did I have to use a hammer to make things fit,yes,but it was no big deal. As far as ordering it. I know a guy that is a auto body parts and supplys dealer,so I got it through him.

A little late on this topic but how did you get the whole piece in there? Did you posibly slide it through the bottom of the car, tipped it sideways and slide it through the door? I just got the same goodmark piece not having in mind on how to get it in the car please help D:

got the floor pan last week. Still looking for ways to slide the new floor pan in without any excessive work 😀

Remove the drivers or passengers door.
That's the only way to get the headliner board in and out without cracking the board I know that for sure... rolling down the window will work but it's too close for comfort.

When I did mine,I cut out the rear window,or you could cut out the windshield. Removing the doors should work also,like ^^he said. BTW I got my headliner out with the doors on :wink:

thanks guys, btw what did you guys use to cut out the old floor pan and how well did it work? I'm thinking either a nibler or sheers, but wouldn't a torch or air chisel work?

You could use a die grinder/ cut-off wheel...or if you had access to a plasma cutter, that would be even better.

I used a plasma,but like Longroof said,a cut off wheel would work also. If you use a cut of wheel try and find the thinnest one,they cut alot faster. On my cut off tool I use a 1/32 wheel(3"dia) the most.

thanks guys but today I noticed something the goodmark floor pan that I had recieved can use the same lip that the original floor pan was spot welded to. So I was looking at it and followed it all the way up to the firewall and did the same with the new one and all the corners and criss -crosses it makes are the same. After noticing this I had found some of the spot welds the old one had and started drilling through them so that I could use the lip the old floor pan used, and for that matter I don't think I'll need to cut anything but I bought some sheers just in case
