No trunk

I've been working on the trunk floor of the Chevelle, or rather the lack of the trunk floor. We also realized that the wheel tubs are not the same, the drivers side is much bigger. Wierd? I found out that GM thought of putting the gas filler neck up on the quarter panel like the Chevy II, and that is why they designed two different wheel houses! I've also cut out the lower quarter panel extension, and just need to start welding in everything.

Floor Braces and Frame Mounts

I have been working all week on the frame mounts and floor braces for the 66 Chevelle. I finished up the front, middle and rear on both sides and only have one small part on the inner rocker panel to finish tomorrow. Then the drivers floor hole, which isn't too bad, and then on to the floor brace above the rear end. That one doesn't look like it will be any fun at all. I am excited to think that after I finish up the trunk floor pans, I won't have to crawl under the car anymore.....until I have to undercoat it. I'm thinking about spraying Lizardskin if it isn't too expensive. The photos show the before and after of the inner rocker, and does it no justice....it looks much better.
