New floorpan help

Hi Charger fans!  I've got a question before I spend some money, so I thought I'd get a few educated opinions. 

I am attaching two pictures:  one of my rusty project, and one of what it should look like (borrowed from 69hemi's site, which I hope is ok), and the next is what I'm dealing with. 

My question:  Will it take a 3/4 pan AND a rear patch panel to go from here to the front seam, or will a full length pan do the trick by itself?
Or is it a full length pan and a rear panel?  The pictures and descriptions I read from the catalogs aren't helping me much.

Thanks a lot.  I'm hoping to get it ordered and here so I can get to work on it soon.

Okay, I couldn't get the second picture to show up as I don't know how to size it down.  So, here's the same picture again showing where my repair area ends.  I just need it to go from the front seam of the floor to just where the "rise" to the back seat begins.  See the arrows that look like a mentally challenged three-year-old drew it?  That's where I need it to stop.  Of course, if a full length pan goes a little higher, that's ok.

Thanks for the help.

Maybe these pictures will help? a 3/4 and rear passenger panel.

Hemidog

Oh, and yeah, you will need the rear panel aswell, got the same problem myself  :P

Thanks, Hemidog.  I was beginning to think it was just me.  I have concluded you are right.  I will have to get the full or 3/4 AND the rear panel to do the job.  I ordered a full panel today, so I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks again for the pics.   :icon_smile_big:

Brian, The 3/4 pan covers most of the problems. The rear pan covers the rest. You need to trim the rear pan, as it will overlap the new 3/4 pan.
Get them both if you have a problem at the end where the rear pan turns up 90 degrees.
The pans fit nice, there is always some trimming and fitting involved. No need to weld them in solid, the factory didn't. Take your time fitting them, the patience will pay off in the end results.
Good Luck

Thanks, Dave.  That is exactly what I needed to know.  The place I ordered my pan from said Goodmark is tooling a true full length pan which would cover the whole floor area to the 90 degree turn, which would solve the problem of fitting two pans together, but it won't be ready until later this year or in 2008.

Thanks for posting the pictures and giving the explanations guys, I just now figured out how those two pieces go together - yeah ok so I'm slow  :icon_smile_wink: :icon_smile_big:
