My goal this year is to install a new half floor in my 56 Nomad.
25 years ago I had installed inner & outer rockers along with the four floor pans that were available at that time.
Decided to removed them along with the inner rocker panels in order to prime & use weld-through primer. Also primer all floor braces. The rear body mount needed replacing along with the seat mounting plates. I chose to replace the front seat brace just for the easy.
The new half floor pans & cargo pan came from CARS Inc. The fit is OK. The pan seam to be 1/4" to long to line up with the location of all the original braces & roughly 3/8" to wide for the drive shaft tunnel to lay down flat. Had to move the seat mounts from original location to match the floor pan. Tonight I finished drilling the hole for the plug welding & applied weld-through primer.
This week end hope to have one pan all welder in. Will post some pictures then.
