While drilling the floor pans would indeed be the fast and easy way, I commend you for not doing it for many reasons (car value, in case a future owner (or yourself) ever changes his mind and goes back to stock, etc.) If someone had taken just a moment to do a lot of things on my car properly, I wouldn't be spending twice the time trying to return it back to a semi-sane state. And I'm not a numbers matching guy, just don't believe in jury rigging stuff. So again, :beer: !

ain't that the truth. ..
I say,its his car,his vision,he can do whatever he wants with it.

72 RR,Are you gonna sand the side of the peices,like round them or keep them how they are?

Naval jelly is for removing rust, then you have to seal the metal after you wash it off.rust bullet can be applied over rust.

I also ran into a problem with the seat brackets from Scat/Procar these are available through summit. The holes don't line up with the ones in the floor. so I'll have to probably have to weld the old ones and drill new ones.
