1969 Roadrunner Full Restoration

Why are you saving the tunnel? I would just buy the full floor pan and do it right rather than have to splice in and weld separate drivers and passenger pans.

Good point sir!

The intent was to attemp to salvage as much original sheetmetal as possible, keep as much rigidity as possible and save the $209.99 (before tax and shipping) for the Shifter Tunnel since the original one seems to be in good shape. Moreover, the Left and Right Floor Pans are $509.98 (before tax and shipping whereas the complete Floor Pan is $549.99 (before tax and shipping)

By saving the tunnel, I figure I save about $240 (before tax and shipping).

I'm still debating this approach.

Thank you for the recommendations!!!

The four speed tunnel is just tack welded on and easily removed and reused. The only rust in my floor pan was the drivers footwear but some previous owner changed it to a four speed by splicing in a 3' x 4' section from another car instead of just cutting a hole and adding the four speed hump. Like you i have to always keep the budget in mind but this was one area I decided to spend the extra money and buy the one piece front floor pan as it just makes for a much nicer job.
