I have done the floor repair both ways and would choose the full floor hands down. You had better be a pretty good welder to hide all of the repair on a partial replacement.

Agreeed. I did long pans n a 66 I had and it looked decent when I was done but the full floor is the way I’m going to go. I have the part that came with the car and the previous owner(s) already cut the floor out on both sides so I don’t have the pieces that were taken out to compare to or reuse. A car with good floors around here would be too nice of car to cut up most likely and my wife would most likely kill me in my sleep if I buy another car. I have a slight automobile addiction and have several cars at the moment and I’m out of room. Need a bigger garage.

If anyone has any pics of a late 67 floor pan they would like to share I would definitely appreciate it where the floor in my car is mostly long gone. Just for comparison to the Dynacorn floor. I do see one other difference where the rear seat goes. The Dynacorn has rises where the parking brake cable goes and the stampings in the original go down rather than up.
