Heres how today went..................took off the 1/4 to put on outter wheelhouse, got wheelhouse and 1/4 back on to position wheelhouse. 1/4 went back on to where it belongs (kinda scary HUH) anyway got the wheelhouse in position and took 1/4 off for last time until final assy. Got rocker and door jam brace all welded up, then started welding wheelhouse, a few welds into it, welder was welding weird so I looked at the gauge for the tank and guess what...............ZERO.  So now i am outta gas for 2 weeks because bottle will need to be tested before filling. But I will keep busy, tomorrow or tuesday after work I'll fire up the sawzall and start cutting off the left side 1/4 and rocker. Making mental note to self "DO NOT REMOVE DOOR JAM BRACE WITH 1/4" 

Thanks Paul. I do have donor rear floor pans from a 78 I stripped. But after cutting them off the rotted frames they were not is as good a shap as I thought they would be, I dont realy want to patch them. Nobody makes the under rear seat floor pan as of yet so I was thinking about buying the one piece complete 70-73 floor pan Tamraz has, cutting off the rear pans and reselling the fronts as one piece. Plus I would not have to pay freight to ship because I live about 1/2 hr to 45 mins from them. I am about 4 months from painting the underneath of the car so maybe some place will start making the rear floor pans by then.
