looking for info on replacing floor and trunk pans ?

[Murray]

I started to grind the floors and trunk on 69 charger. I found that the floors have pin holes and are thin in places as well as the loud pedal mounting holes have defiantly seen better days. Now the trunk is a different story, the center of the trunk pan is rotted, pulled the vinyl trunk pad and found what I thought was a lot of surface rust, WOW was I wrong  . I proceeded to keep grinding away rust with my wire wheel and it only got worse  . I was wondering if I need to brace the chassis to replace either, parts of the floor pan or the entire floor panel to prevent warping? The trunk im not to worried im going to cut out the center and replace to bad section. Does anyone have any suggestions

When a hardtop car has a healthy frame then you do not have to brace it to cut out the rot panels.  There is always a limit of course but the things you mention can be done as is, no worries.

   You will need a two piece trunk floor if you will be installin g it through the truck opening. I got mine off craigslist so I don't know who made it.  It didn't have the rear flange that is used to spot weld the trunk pan to the taillight panel. I had to add it

Agreed, the trunk floor on mine dropped in so nicely it was scary.

I replaced both floor pans and the trunk floor in my 68. Used AMD, quality stuff. Check the link below, he's a board member here.
