RE: [T3] 64 notch

["Carrie" <apop@eradain.com>]

I had to find someone that was parting out their 70 Fasty to get the pan I
have on my '63 notch now....  The previous owners were so desperate to
repair the original rotting pan that they welded sheet metal above the body
chassis line across to the tunnel on both sides.  Even then you could look
down at your feet in front of the seats and see the road!
I can't even begin to describe how much fun it was to grind off the welds so
that I could separate the body from the old pan to replace it!!!!

You might try the DDB ( www.theddb.com ) as they've probably got the rocker
in stock. The floor pans are another story though, as t-3 floor parts aren't
available from the aftermarket, and they're getting harder to find. Martin
might be able to help you with those too though. A couple months ago there
was a gentleman on the Samba who was looking into making some, but I haven't
heard if he actually is. I hope this helps.
