Going to keep building frame to include running gear. Going to mount body on extra frame and start back on the body. Body has to go back for coat before I mock up everything

cut the drivers floor pan out yesterday. you can see in the pic, where they laid the replacement pan over the existing tunnel and welded. cleaning up other people's work sometimes is a pain, but this will actually turn out good. the replacement pan was that i cut out was one a vendor sells that has an angle on the tunnel side. you can see it in the pic. you can also see on the seat riser on the other pic where they welded it over the existing metal.

Fordguy are those screws permanent or just till you get it welded in. I'm almost through building my rotisserie will start pulling my engine and trans next weekend. already pulled front and rear ends. I've got a dana 60 rear from a 68 barracuda and a hp dana 44 narrowed both with 4:88 gears. Everythings in good shape except the body. So I'll be watching your progress nice job so far.

The screws are there to help with mock up. They will be removed. I will use screws to mount the repair panels to the existing door post while I mock up rocker panels.
