Thank you for the pictures of the floor pan. Looks like the back floor pan is in decent shape, but the front (especially the driver side) may need full replacement including the toe board. Difficult to tell on the passenger front, but do you think that would need to be replaced as well? Looking forward to seeing more pictures.

Thanks,
Heather

Heather,

I would say that 85-90% of the floor is in great condition

Remember that the car is 48 years old, so to find a pristine floor pan/ car is rare

The drivers front area where your heel would be is the only trouble spot
the toe boards are good, just surface
I was planning on getting the repair section for the drivers front and cutting out around the factory lines and trimming new piece and installing, then coat entire floor pan

Here are some more pics that i just took

Please let me know if you need additional ones

thanks, Jeff

Are you able to see how thick the body filler is where it cracked on the passenger side? I'm also not really sure why you would need filler there unless that just happened to be where the weld seam was, any ideas? Were you able to get a picture of the cowl tag?

Thanks for all your patience with me. I am new to looking into buying a car like this and want to know what I'm getting myself into.

Heather,

it is approx 1/8" and it is over a welded seam from 80% quarter panel install

No pics of cowl trim tag, due to it was missing since I have had the car
The 68 trim tag doesn't really tell you much info (unlike 67' or half of 69' cars) just paint, interior colors, build date

Thanks, Jeff

Jeff,

Thank you for all the additional information. I'm discussing everything with my husband.
