Bringing the '65 back to life

[racecougar]

I put some hours in on the truck this weekend. First up was to get the rear floor pan cut out.



Dad took a turn throwing sparks.



Once it was punched, flanged, and screwed in place, I cut out the kickpanel.


It's easy to access the kickpanel with the floorpan out of the way.


Getting there. Kickpanel and floorpans trimmed, flanged, and screwed in place. I still need to fit all of the bracing under the floor, check the door gaps and rocker panel fitment, and tweak/trim a few pieces, then it's time to weld it all up. That will probably have to wait a couple of weeks, as I'm booked pretty solid next weekend.
