James=2CMy .02 on the floors and could be taken as advice on the whole job.=
My brother's 73 needed new floors as the first project when he got it. He =
ordered new pans from TRF and I "thought" it sounded like something I could=
do=2C obviously not. So I took it to a local "country" body shop that had =
painted mine years before. Kinda of a crappy place but did good work. He se=
emed to understand what I wanted done=2C but made his own decision on how t=
o do it. Picked up the car=2C floors nice and seam sealed and everything lo=
oked good=2C from the top. First time I was under it I saw what he had done=
. He cut my new floors to make 'whole car' replacement panels and welded th=
em in where he had cut out the old ones. Now this wasn't a LBC guy=2C and h=
e did what he intended to do just fine. Car is fine=2C solid=2C everything =
is great=2C except I know it wasn't really done right.=20
Moral to my story: Had I been at a shop that knew how to work on LBCs=2C it=
probably would have snowballed into something like you're facing. But in t=
he long run=2C his car was back on the road pretty quick (once I got the re=
st of the interior back together) and he's enjoyed it for miles and miles. =
Does it win any shows - NO. Does it get positive comments and does he enjoy=
talking to other LBC guys at the shows - YES. Does he enjoy driving it and=
the looks it gets as he passes by - YES.=20
My goal: hold down the total cost of ownership as much as possible and enjo=
y driving the piss out of my car.=20
