Just got the car back from dipping and she is in pretty good shape.
I knew the floor pans would need replacing. I would like some advice from the guys that have done this.
This will be a resto MOD driver. I am looking at AMD vs. Goodmark. I have read on here most guys says AMD for Body panels due to the slightly higher quality.
But their is significant cost difference for the floor pans which no one will ever see. Also good mark isnt showing rear floor pans.
I will like to replace the whole front and rear sections in two pieces. Also the seat belt mounts in the rear are rusted through.
Just wondering how everyone else would go about this and which product they would use?
Thanks!
Ill post some pictures this weekend.

With floor pans I would check if there's a difference in thickness between the two brands and if so go with the one that is closest to the stock floor thickness. I've used partial Goodmark floors on a 2nd gen and they were fine. This is +10 years ago though. They are easily adjusted as well compared to skins.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Thanks Dino! I will compare thickness on them...
Heres the photo of the hole near the seat belt brackets thinking I may just patch that rather than replace whole wheel well.

I used Sherman, none will fit like a glove. Just to let you know, but that is to be expected. Sherman piece had to be massaged into place but it looks good.
One piece of advice, after you install the panel go underneath and put rust reformer on first and then primer the heck out of it.
