    Found a source for Daytona front floor replacement?

    DUH!!!!!!!!!!!


    The TC by Masi is a cut down Daytona floor pan. I have 3 of the cars. All 3 were rustproofed. By factory or dealer doesn't matter. They are good.

    While it is true the TC *is* a shortened G-body (it is shortened behind the front seats where the rear passenger footwell would have been), and the floor pan *can* work....they are NOT the same as a G-body if you go and just try to cut the floor out. The upper skin is the same, but it's a double wall build on the TC and the way the frame rails and all are tied in underneath are totally different. I have pictures of the one TC I cut up recently. Stripping and cutting 2 TC's up taught me a lot about them...they are NOT a "typical" TM and very little actually interchanges without a lot of work.

    Just giving information and a fair warning.

    is it different from the J body convertable reinforcement that runs from the firewal , along the center tunnel and across the seat riser and then over the reair frame rails ..? (lol)

    Yes, as a matter of fact it is. Remember that J-body convertibles up until 1989 had a very wide center tunnel and a unique center console to fit it? Masi doesn't have that...it's a G-body sized console. I guess I'll try to see if I can post pictures later.
