My Car - Snapshot!

Late July 2001
Time left until car goes into body shop for paint:
Welcome to the SNAPSHOT!!!!! section. Here, I will post new pictures of my car
as I progress in my Ford Falcon restoration, with big plans for the future..........
In this section, I hope to chronicle the restoration process. Hope you
enjoy the show, and email me if you
have any ideas!
I took a week off this July to install a new floor in my Falcon. As
you can see in the pictures below, my floor had a LOT of holes under
multiple layers of sheet metal patches.
Thanks to helpful folks down south in St. Louis, I brought a relatively rust
free floor out of a 4 door. After pressure washing the floor, I found
it never had undercoating applied to it, and still wears its factory
primer. The dusting of surface rust pales in comparison to the
underside of the pans, which I would EAT off of!
The floor was welded in place, and I used Epoxy
paint and POR 15 to seal the floor from possible rust.
