Anybody wanna tell me the worst part of replacing the trunk floor in a 67 (besides everything). I've never done one and the 3 piece NPD set looks interesting. BUT, there are these options: US-made, non US, brace welded on, no brace. What's the deal? Our floor pan is rotten from tailight panel to front hump. Could use some advice. (This probably won't be the only time). THANKS!
i have an npd 3 piece trunk floor kit with seperate body mounts that are not welded on yet im not sure but i think the us made is a little higher quality... my car will be a daily driver and im not looking for a perfect resto so i went with the imported panels. they were cheaper and still looks good.. i have not started any work yet but im anxious to get started a.s.a.p!!! ill keep my progress posted.

I just replaced the left and center section of my convertible with the Goodmark repops. The hardest part was getting a good fit up next to the wheel well. My brace was in good shape, so I didn't have to replace it. I had my car on my rotessorie, so being able to flip it for welding made the job much easier. Take your time drilling out the spot welds and alternate where you are welding to eliminate heat distortion.
Good Luck,
