Re: IML: Floor pan compatibility

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

Q: Will the floor for a 1960 Imperial Hardtop
interchange with a 1960 Imperial Sedan?


It should.  Why not?  If someone knows that answer
factually, I'd be surprised, since this is not a
common operation and is rather challenging to perform,
so it keeps membership of the "floor-pan-swap club"
low.

I base my response on the logic that it would be a lot
easier to produce the variants of a car on the same
shell than it would be to re-tool for a 700-car run
that the sedans saw.

Is there a compelling reason you can't substitute the
floorpan in the car with replacement metal that a
fabricator could weld in using sheet-stock?  That
would work the same and would not be visible and
everyone here would probably be pretty discreet about
your 'secret'.

The person that lifted your carpet or looked
underneath and then chided you for having a non-stock
floor pan on your otherwise delicious car would be
asked if his parents were closely related where I live.
