Replacing Floor Pans, ...here we go! Options

[CptTripps]

Ok, so I've decided to just replace the entire floor, and KNOW that it's done right. I have a couple of questions. I couldn't find a thread that specificly addressed this. Tried a few searches, and got an IIS error. (I'd be happy to park the site on one of my Unix servers for free.) Anywho...

#1 - Anyone done this and had success? I've read the article on the Bird site, but I need pictures. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

#2 - Should I get the Front-Back or Left-Right type? I plan on doing the whole thing, but I don't have a rotisserie, and need to keep the car on the jack-stands. (I may have to take it higher to get under it.)

#3 - How much 'lip' did you leave to spot to? Or, should I put it in from the top, or from the bottom?

You guys in Cali get all the breaks...you have tons of people close by that can come 'help' AND you get to drive these year-round.

Any advise/help is ALWAYS appreciated!

don't you wish you would have shipped a car from CA as many advised instead of buying the first rusty one you saw? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Not really. This IS what I was looking for.

I wanted a car that I could spend the winter playing with. This is what I'm doing. There were 2-3 cars that were 'better' by everyone elses standards, but this one had what *I* was looking for.

If every time I ask for help I have to defend my car purchasing decision, this is going to get real old...real quick.

Back to my question...

Do these need to be drilled from under the car, or above? Is there anything wrong with doing the entire floor at once while it's on jacks? Should I try to brace it first, or put the doors back on?

Thanks for the help gang.
