<VV> Floored sedan

A little update on the progress on my 1965 500 sedan....
 
Since the engine is now running, the next steps are to get the gas tank and  
brakes operational. I have the dual master cylinder kit from Lon and also have 
 all new wheel cylinders and hoses. I still need to get the metal lines.  
Yesterday Terry Kalp and I moved some cars around in his shop (the current  home 
of the sedan) so there would be plenty of room to work on the sedan. The  
sedan then when full group red, four jack stands. Terry tackled the gas tank  
removal, while I worked on the brakes. During this process, we discovered that  
the front floors were badly rusted. Terry offered me a few different cars to get 
 replacements. That was great, but I didn't want to spend more time getting 
the  car back on the road.
 
This morning I returned to finish removing the brake lines. Then I went to  
work on getting to the front floors from the top side. Out came the front bench 
 and the villainous rubber mat to uncover the floor. It was worse than I 
thought  based on what I could see from the bottom. I took a smoke break and went 
to look  at a couple of the donors. One car had the front seats out so I 
pulled up the  carpet. I could hardly believe what I saw, two nearly new 
replacement floor  pans. The best part is that they were just screwed down around the 
perimeter. I  asked Terry if he knew about the car's floor. He had never looked 
under the  carpet. I told him what I found and he said that I was very luck. 
I'd have to  agree.
 
The plan is to get the new floors welded in tomorrow....
