[VAC] floor replacement



I recently finished total floor replacement on my 67 GT.  It was alot of work and everything touching the floor came out including the lower interior panels.  My floor was consumed with carpenter ants and water leaks.  I was unable to use the old plywood pieces as a pattern so before removal I made templates from #30lb. roofing felt cut to fit against the aluminum floor channel and then added the width of the channel to the layout so the front and rear curved sections matched the old.  It was time consuming but not very expensive.  Rough estimate on materials was about $400.00 (plywood, screws, Olympic rivets, pop rivets, vulkem sealant bolts etc.  
Good luck, Dave
