Thats what the body guy told me anyway. I never did listen, as my wife always tells me.
Here’s the start of floor replacement. That support really wanted to stay there.

:shock: Holy (holey :wink: ) moly. Definitely a Flintstonemobile issue, requiring knowledgeable attention. Remember to add temporary bracing to hold body in proper alignment before cutting out/replacing any structural metal supports to prevent twisting. I wish you luck and success.

Thanks Howard the front and rear edges of the pans are pretty much gone. I have plenty of bracing but I'm doing one side at a time and may not need it. I will need a straightedge setup when doing the inner/outer rockers.

Remember our member John who owns BadDog Parts in Mass; he makes entire floorpan and rail assemblies. Let me know if you forgot how to reach him.

I got the Zedd Findings floors/rails already.
I thought he did just rails. I actually like his rails better than Charlie's.

Finally got back into 777 in the past week after many months of sitting.
Floor is almost out and the inner rockers just have a few more welds to cut out.
New parts are patiently waiting.
It’s been at least 6 months since she ran. I wheeled her out and after 2 sets of cranks started up like it was a normal thing. I’m amazed at these engines.
