4 Dr Floor Pans! Suggestions?

[BNardG]

I've noticed that most of the Floor Pan Topics are pretty old so I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of any up to date places to find some. I just picked up and stripped a 68 4dr. I'm planning on getting it blasted this weekend. I noticed the floor pans are going to just disintegrate when it gets blasted and need to be replaced.

 

Does anyone know where I could find some?

Pictures of said 68?

PM him....was just an option

There is another guy on the Realm named Tyson,  he makes rockers.......... and possibly floor pans.

If you're paying to get the body blasted, you might want to wait until you replace the pans. The welding process can get messy. Blasting it after you're done will leave a cleaner/nicer surface for primer adhesion.

 

Just my two cents.

^ Huh?

 

Seems seriously backwards.

Clean to fix before you clean or clean then fix.

 

No brainer, I'd think.

Always blast first.

[BNardG]

Yeah I need to blast this thing and see how much needs to be replaced first.

[SupDoc]

Yeah, your situation might be different, where you can't see where all the rust is hiding. For me, there was no question that my pans needed to be replaced, so I just started that process right away. There's a few other locations on my car that obviously need replacing, which I plan to do before taking it to American Stripping in Sacramento. They blast cars and apply an epoxy primer before rust has a chance to set in. I just don't want to have to do a whole lot of welding after that primer goes on, since I'd have to prep and respray it.

 

How long do you think your car will be in bare metal? I would just be worried about it starting to surface rust and having to pay someone to blast it a second time. Of course, if you have your own equipment or a buddy is doing it for you, it's not an issue. 

 

I'm curious where you're taking it to get blasted, since we live next door (Rio Vista).

We're taking it to Myers sandblasting in Oakland. Troy Ermish http://www.ermish-racing.com/ in Tracy recommended it, so it must be a pretty legit spot. They epoxy primer after as well. I'm afraid this car is going to turn into swiss cheese but I gotta start somewhere.

 

Once I pull everything off I'll get some pictures up. Probably going to wait a few more weeks before blasting. Get as much prep work as I can get done.

We can do them. Were you after something factory or something custom to fit in the hole.

[BNardG]

I'll know more after the car has been blasted. I'll get in touch with you then. There is definitely going to be a lot that needs to be replaced

Check Eastwood for a sheetmetal roller 150.00$, I make pans with this bead edge roller takes two people most of the time , one to crank handle ,great for small patch jobs .
