1972 Complete Underbody Replacement

[Peter]

I had my car painted several years ago and the outside is solid. It has a 390GT engine and I finally decided to move forward with a 5 speed Tremec upgrade and a full floor replacement. After I removed the existing floor pan the job quickly expanded to include the entire underbody. I have owned the car for the last 38 years but it must have been exposed to salt in its early years (I am from Canada).

Hoping to have the rear of the car assembled over the next couple of months then tackle the firewall and front apron assemblies. This has been a fun project to work on with my father.

I will post some more pics as I get more completed.

I agree 100%, what a great project to share with your dad. Keep us updated on your progress.

Looks like you're well on your way with it! Now would be a great opportunity to add subframe connectors.

Go extra mile and reinforce as much as you can.
Inner rocker panels and subframe.

What a good project. And it sure looks good in the photo is it totally together.
