1969 SS396 300 Deluxe Post Chevelle - Puchased

[Schonyenko2]

I was very happy with the fit with this piece. I had not put in a complete Chevelle floor before. Many Camaros, and Novas, but this was a 1st on a Chevelle. I would use this part again.

All reproduction parts have small nuances. When you work with them long enough, you adjust/ modify for them. Many have the same small issues NOS pieces have. That's why God invented mig welders, and plasma cutters. (big smile)

I was wondering, with the car still on the frame how did you get the floors in being that the replacement floor is one piece. Maybe threw the windshield? Just curious! Seems the one peice is the way to go.

one piece floor is slid in place from underneath.
Here are some more pics as the sheetmetal work is completed and I'm bringing her home for a while. Many thanks to Ken @ Schoenthaler Restorations for a great job! The exposed areas were put in Red Oxide primer for now.
My plans are to get the chassis blasted and powdercoated next as my budget allows.
