Re: [Chrysler300] Floor pans for '62 chrysler Hdt

["Jess" <jpmiklas@xxxx>]

When I replaced the rear floor pans in a 62 300 convert, I bought
reproduction pans for a 69 RoadRunner. The size was very close and I had to
do minimal trimming to get them in. The appearance is different from
original - the bead rolling is at different angles. If you replace both
sides, the judges might not even notice.
