I have an 82 T/A I'm working on & the drivers side floor pan is trashed, since I don't have any extra spending money, new pans are out, so a buddy gave me an 84 junker Firebird with good floor pans, now the question is "How can I remove the floor pans from the 84 with out damaging them?" I think finding all the weld joints to cut would help. I tried this before, but couldn't get the pan out because we couldn't find all of the weld joints. Any help?

Get an air grinder with a cutting disc and...well, you can figure it out from there.

 

either get a plasma cutter or good bladesfor the saws-all. make sure to cut as much out as possible so that you have a little extra to weld to.

 

How much would a new floor pan cost anyway? I have not see a price on that anywhere.

 

they're about $250 each side from yearone

 

I think they are around $200 per half.They come in two sections,drivers and passengers.

 

I got 2 for 425 that was with tax included. they were about 200 a piece.

 

where'd you get yours at? did they fit good. I'm looking around right now for some. I've got prices...but no info on quality

 

i got mine from a local camaro parts dealer. They look in great shape. I havent gotten them installed, I picked them up about a week and a half ago. The welder is coming monday to see what he needs to do. They look identical to the ones I have in my car right now, so I am guessing they will work fine! I didnt pay for shipping so idk how much it will be, if you want I can get you his number. He can get almost anything i guess.

 

mine from year one were a good fit. but still needed to havea few hours to fit them

 

those look good. a lot better than the rusted holes that most of us have. thanks guys

 

wow! i feel alot better about the rear QP rust out issue in my 82 now


dang.,.....


peanuts compared to entire floors


good job



evne on a budget you can find a small time local guy with a mig welder to weld in stuff for ya for cheap

for real

ask around

you would be surprised.

plus anyways you shoudl always have a plan figure out before starting something like this, which is why my 82 still sits stored away, until i am good and ready and have everything i need saved up



good luck
