I want to replace my floorboards

Check out the link below from my build thread if you need additional pictures. As Redfire mentioned above, the floor will not clear the dash if you install it through the windshield. Since you have it on jackstands, just install it from underneath the car. My car was on a cart and the floor could only be installed through the windshield opening.

It's a really straight forward install and the floor fits really nice. What kind of shape are your toe boards in?

My driver side toe board needs replaced, should this be done prior to removing the floor?

You'll need to remove, at minimum, the lip on the floor pan that welds to the toe board. Go check out the pictures I have. They're pretty self explanatory. PM me if you have any questions.

I replaced my toeboards after the older floor was cut out and before the new one was welded in.

The way my bracing was setup I had to go through the windshield opening so I had to cut a temporary notch at the back corner of the floor in order to clear both the dash and rear window open. Then I butt welded that notch after installation. I would try to go from underneath if I had to do another one.

Do you have to brace the floor if your only doing half pans or patchs?

I wouldn't worry with it. Just make sure the car is level.

How do I go from underneath if its on a cart? or can I just brace it all up throw the whole car on jack stands and then do it?

With it braced like this how do you get the floor pan in?

HOLY COW I soooo forgot I posted this. I've been real lazy the past month or so... and today I was cutting out some of my floor boards, just in small patches and was trying so hard to think if I needed to brace the car or not hahahah

I only cut out three spots so far. Where the driver puts his feet, and both spots in the back where passengers would put their feet....

I should still be ok as long as I brace the car tomorrow before I cut anymore out right???

Thanks for everyones posts by the way I got lots of info and I should hopefully have these out in a few days, without having messed something up in the process.

Here is how I braced. Did I do enough?
