Need some help on my 67

DO a search here lots of GREAT information just got finished up doing the floor myself take your time and all will be good if your have specific questions that you cannot fins an answer to in searching just ask I will help as best as I can.

I have documented my build fairly well at my cardomain site. I have plenty more pics, so if you need something specific... just ask.

Good luck and have fun.

It is very hard to tell form that Pic.

I agree... we need another picture. My frame rail had NO rust in it at all.... I just cleaned the dirt from it and sprayed some black paint in there for added protection.

Get us some more pics and we will be glad to offer an opinion.

Both sides are GONE!. You will probably need the toe board patch on the driver side, (possibly pass side too). Remove those seat pans and you will probably see the metal under there is bad. You might as well do the full length pans for both sides. The cross member might be saved, but check it closely.

I might even look closely into the driver side rocker panel. You might find some there. With the fenders off, check the area behind the fenders under the cowl, especially near the top where the cowl comes together.

Lastly and most imporantly will be the cowl vents. They are the cause of the problem and are going to be just as bad.

Overall, you have some work and you will encounter more as you dig deeper into the sheetmetal. Have you looked in the trunk and wheel houses yet?

Good luck and we are all here to help.

Just do you homework and plan it out. The entire floor pans are available but it depends on what you want out of the car. If you are going for a full MCA style resto, then you can do the entire floor. If you are going to drive it, enjoy it, then the floor pans are good enough.

Be careful if you remove the entire floor and subframe sections without adding support or you might not get the doors, etc to fit when you are done and if you have welded everything in place... you are screwed.

You might have to check the quarter lips and trunk drop down sections. Those normally go much before the wheel house. At least all of it available now.

Take care in the toeboard section, and rockers (as mentioned before) Especially if you are going to go for a full pan and a rocker replacment... much of the structure of the car will be removed.

Take your time, enjoy it and it will work out for you. I had planned on a 1.5 year plan, but I am now on 2.5 years. I have had a baby born, a house purchase and now possibly a new house purchase... so it all takes time.

As always, I have lots of pics and can provide them if you need them.

Good luck and most importantly, have fun!

I would go with the full pans, Out of my entire car the floorpans are my least favorite job, it doesnt help that it was well over 110 in my shop when i did it.

Kinda brings back memories. I had a 67 GTA coupe way back in the early 70's when I was in high school too. I wish I could find my car like you did but I know it would be next to impossible. Good luck on your restoration and keep us posted on the progress.

when i first saw the pics i though .wow alot of work ...then when i went back and read that you had owned this car earlier in life..i thought ..way cool..go man go
