I would appreciate any help i can get on obtaining a full floor pan for my 80 pinto. mines rusted pretty good and when i cut it all out i wanna set the motor and tranny in (im gonna slice the firewall back also ) i figure itll make it a LOT EAISER TO GET THE MOTOR (302 and auto tranny from a 67 mustang)IN FOR STARTERS AND ALSO MAKE IT EASIER TO SET THE MOTOR AS FAR BACK AS POSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE POOR STEERABILITY DUE TO THE WEIGHT UP FRONT .... SAYING ALL THAT TO SAY ID LIKE TO HAVE A NEW ONE READY TO GO IN BEFORE POSSIBLY DESTROYING THE OLD ONE AND NOT HAVING ANY TO REPLACE IT OR HAVING TO BUY ONE IN WORSE SHAPE THEN MINE
OOPPS Sorry for the caps ...im a look at the key board typist (well a hunt & peckist anyway)
any help would be great
Sounds like quite a bit of modifications. Are you putting a tube frame in? Jeg's sells an aluminum interior kit, but as I understand it's to be used with a frame, not just by itself. If you are looking for just the stock pinto floor, maybe you could find another pinto with a solid bottom to use as a donor car.

Here's the chassis/roll cage they also sell.
