Welding & grinding.

Yes, those are my pink earmuffs he is wearing.

Welded in

Tacking the toe-board into place.

Welding a torque box to the frame on the passenger side for strength. We had to take the torque box apart to be able to manipulate it in. We were not able to get it lined up perfectly with the floor slope on the back side, but it was close. 1967 coupe mustangs only came with torque boxes on the drivers side. Ford later added them to both sides. 

Fitting & welding in the driver side floor pan.

Bringing in the passenger side floor pan.

After MUCH work the floor is finally IN.

Rear floor extensions.

Placing, welding & painting the new seat platforms in.
