    i bought 1971 ford mustang floorboards from mustangs unlimited.. each side was 59.95 and took a day per side to cut out and weld in place.

    very strong... and they are new metal. so it will take quite a few years to rust out

    Simon , how far up do those mustang floors extend, I mashed my dimmer swtich down and found a hole up there. haven't pulled carpet completely but form what I can see it isn't real extensive but the area on the outside edge of the driver's side appears to have several holes how extensive underneath it looks ok though. Who did you order the mustang pieces from

    my plan is to fabricate new patch panels from sheet metal.I have a friend who owns the company that makes the sheet metal for trane air conditioning units. and he lets me use his presses and stuff. so depending on how right i can make the jig I may do a limited run of patch panels for those who need them. jamie
