I don't see why not, so long as you brace everything. I've recented updated my build link above.

The floor fits through the windshield area, but I could not get it into place without putting a temporary notch on one side. I cut a slit 8 inches back from one corner (about 5 inches into the floor). This allowed me to bend the floor at the notch so it fit up into the rear window area. Then it cleared the dash and fell into place.

Can you post some pictures of the notch you're talking about? Since I'm installing the DSE tubs, I wonder if I could notch the floor for the tubs before I put it in.

How did the floor fit overall?

Thanks

You can brace it underneath, rocker panel to rocker panel, besides some inside the body bracing, its on my web site under floor pan installation.

Anyway, just thought I should mention it.

I'll try to find some pics. The floor fit very well over all. Especially with all the replacement metal that's in my car (see my build link earlier in this thread). I did do alot of measuring along the way to be sure I was close too. replacing the inner rockers along with the outers made for a very clean job. Ron

Here's the only pic I have. Look towards the upper right near the WW. I temporarily bent this part of the floor up in order to make clearance to get the floor into position (to clear the dash in the front).

So how wide is that cut? You mentioned 5" in one of your other posts. Get a zoomed in picture of it if you can. Thanks for the posts. This will help me when I get ready to put mine in.
