How did Abingdon do it then?

That’s some serious work there. You’ve gone so far as to mold in the interior kick panels to eliminate the need for the panels required for the carpet installation. This will be one solid ride. Impressive.

I guess I have to make a build thread. I got the top torsion leaves out, front brakes done& painted the right side arms & spindle. I also got the left side apart. I’ll paint that stuff tomorrow

Yeah! Go, Doug, go!

Welcome Doug. We could “blame it on the bossa nova”……or maybe the burrito.
My experience is that the more pictures you post, the more help you will get. Many of us are old and can’t read very well but enjoy looking at the pictures and will make sure that you have the engine in the correct end of the car etc. -

I’m not saying that my photos are better than Allen’s but mine are #18705 in the TD photo gallery.

I took out all the small leaves. This should be 12 small leaves. It leaves 4 large leaves in each beam. I know it sounds drastic. Just do it.

from my research the Danish floor pans are the thickest. J.C. Whitney has them the brand name starts with a k, klor some thing.

If you can move them easily with your hand then I think they might be due for replacement. Anyone disagree?
There are thicker vs thinner (cheaper) floor replacements. If I were doing it I’d probably spend the extra $50 or whatever for the thick (i.e., 19 gauge factory thickness, or thicker) ones. Our cars don’t have the structural rigidity of the… -
