Floor pans shot!!
OK, I know this is not y-block stuff, but I am not getting help anywhere else. I have a 59 Fairlane with a 292 and need a complete set of floor pans. If someone could steer me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
Thanks,Ray.

Hi Ray!!!,...this is Janet. There are two ways to go with floor pan replacements, one way is to go to a welding shop and have sheetmetal welded in. the other method is many sites that offer floor pan replacements. In any event, being that the 59 fairlane has a frame to support the pans, it can be fixed. I would seek a local welder, that has accesss to sheetmetal...Good Luck....Janet

Ray, it's Janet again, i did find a site that sells 18 gauge flor pans, for your year 59 car, but it is for a pickup, but you could probably email or call them and have them refer you to someone that has what you need. the site is
http://www.classicfabrication.com/
i was surprised at their price as well, only 60.00 a floor pan, being that they only carry that 59 ford truck year, people in this business would be well able to know someone who would have them...BTW,.. i love the old 59 fairlanes, so good luck with her...Good Luck....Janet

Thanks, Janet. I will definetly be needing help with this project. It is my first this extensive. My 68 F250 is coming along, it needs some minor body work and then it will be ready for painting to finish it. Please e-mail with any resources that you may have for parts or anything related to the 59 restoration project I may be able to use. I will share pictures with you at that time.
Thanks, Ray.

Janet, Thanks again. I have been searching and found a few resources. Don't worry about your speach patterns with me, it's not a distraction as long as the advice is sound. That is what this forum is all about right?

Cheap is a relative term, but I was turned on to this site.

I hope this helps, Ray.
