Re: Bugeye body panels
Rut,
Need to be careful as some of the floors available need to be modified for the BE Gas Pedal mount. Who makes a correct replacement floor, AH Spares?

Re: Bugeye body panels
Jim,
Thanks for the heads up, but I plan on using a 1500 gas pedal to give my 12.5s a little more room. I've started drilling out the spot welds and a few panels have started to separate. Since the damage to my existing floors is on both sides and there's some damage to the floor reinforcement as well as the brace that goes over the spring boxes I plan on replacing it all. That said, how do I support the car on jack stands in the rear while removing metal?
Thanks, Rut

Is your car stripped down? I think you will find it easier removing the floors with the car on its side or upside down. I used the ebay panels for patches for my B/E since I only needed to repair the driver side foot area. I have a passenger side in the box for cheap if you want. The quality is ok, but you can see the difference from the originals. No vents, for a 1500, some holes will have to be drilled.
