Hector, thank you.
The floor and rocker parts are the same, so that should be OK. In theory, it
might indeed be better to use all-new panels. I want to do the 63 justice.
However, I've been without a job since mid-October, so the cost of the new
panels is quite important. As well, I have all these panels, in good shape,
on another tub. If sold, that tub might make as much as $1,000., which would
be less than the cost of the new ones with shipping. If the transplant would
work, it would save some $s, and save me the time and trouble of finding a
buyer for the tub. It has been advertised before, with no bites. Somewhat
surprising, given the climate here.

Subject: Re: [Spits] Stupid question number 56
Hi there
As far as I know, the floorpans and sills are the same for the roundtails as
they are for the square tales. I have used the same floor pans and sills
for both my Spit III (roundtail) and GT6 Mk III (squaretail). I have done
both sills (inner, middle, outer) on the Spit and the left sill (outer) on
the GT6. I have also done the full left floorpan for the Spit and front
floorpan (originally meant for the Spit) on the GT6. The key is to get good
quality parts which fit up better than not so good parts.
Is it really worth cutting out the parts of the squaretail and transplanting
them to the roundtail? It might be faster and easier to get new quality
parts since they would line up properly and be easier to weld in. You may
want to check around some more.
Hope this helps,
Regards
Hector
