    Is the thickness of the steel replacement pieces the same as the thickness of the original floor? About how much does the box of floor pieces weigh?

    I didn't weigh them, but the UPS tracking number showed 43 pounds.

    They're thicker than the pieces of floor that are dangling out of the holes.

    Those floors look great. This is a bad floor:

    But yeah, anything is thicker than rusty holes. Those you got look like the pieces I bought for the passenger side, whereas the piece I put on the drivers side was both thicker and way closer to the original. I had to do a lot of massaging to get the passenger side to lay it on down. Hardly nothing on the drivers.

    Welcome an board mate - looking forward to seeing someone else revive another Falcon.

    Here's a better shot of some of the rust while the car still had misc parts stacked in it. Hopefully in about two weeks I'll have my tools up here. Can't wait to get in there with a heat gun and putty knife to pull up the coating. Then crack open the plasma cutter... Muahaahaaaaaa

    Robert,
    Very unique key fob you have hanging there. I never thought of THAT use for it.

    Roger that's a beautiful floor. Don't make me bust out my pictures.

    Get that pile of parts built up and get after it. Can't wait to see some one less project, mines about done. Keep us posted.

    Key Fob?

    Did you mean the pair of vice grips?

    From what I can tell, there was no key. Just the actual ignition switch. The PO had the vice grips clamped onto the switch housing so it wouldn't fall back through the hole. Or, at least, that's my guess. The triple gauge mount is a nice touch, with no gauges in it.
