Where did they find that. Was it a piece of metal sandwiched over something else. When pulling my floor board found someone had put a floor in and left part of the old floor pan still on the inner rocker's. Made a double job for me.

Dang.... whom ever welded all of those in might as well had used a handful of pennies and spot welded them all over.

Did those have bolt's going through that plate or stud's. I see they where in the back seat floor pan. Wonder if they put them in for an exhaust hanger or something like that. Looks like one is where the back seat hook is. That is about where the exhaust run's.

keep tacking away, looks like a good start, don't forget the welds on the inside of the frame rail. I don't see spots for them in your picture

Yea quikbird don't see the hole for the fame rail either. Man you talk about buying new metal then had to drill a hole about every 3 inches to spot weld back to frame rails and cross members. That is what took so long drill-weld- then grind down the weld's. :beep:

the number of US mopars is growing each year, especially following the closure of local car manufacturing plants. Chrysler was setup here and manufactured Autralian-only mopars from the 50's to the early 80's under the Chrysler brand. they were bought out by Mitsubishi and several chrysler models - galant, sigma etc - then continued to be sold as Mitsubishis.
Now that no-one is manufacturing cars here anymore, we are seeing a relaxation in the import laws, both for new and older cars.
