When I did my 67 mustangs floor I also added the convertible inner rockers. I went with the 69-70 one piece seat riser and just modified the ends too meat up with the rockers. I also added a set of Spintech subframe connectors. They are a great way to add even more chassis strength and tuck up nice to the floor pan.
I like the Spintech subframe connector design. I would think sealing all the gaps between the welded flanges would be a good idea, because I didn’t see any drain holes in the bottom surfaces, so it could potentially be bad if moisture got inside with no way out. I haven’t decided yet which way I’ll go with them yet though. I am contemplating making my own set, but I have to wait till I get a bit further along to make that decision. I may opt to incorporate additional tabs to tie the connectors in to the bottom of the floor pan as well, like Spintech, but with fully boxed tubing. It’s just a thought right now, so we’ll see when I get closer to that point.
@@67mustangcouperestoration the back end of the subframe connectors are open so moisture can run out. I coated the insides well before attaching them. My car will mostly be a fair weather car so I'm not that concerned with them getting that wet inside.
I'm doing a 65 with that style of a one piece floor. Right now the front floor supports aren't in so I was planning on bringing mine in from the bottom. I see you have convertible inner rockers which is going to add strength to the structure. That's a good idea.. Good luck with it. Looking good.
I think the factory stamped panels were pretty accurate, but they were then assembled pretty much by hand, so that’s probably where the gaps come along.

Thanks. Moving the floor pan around can be pretty awkward for sure, but putting it in from the bottom will probably be fairly drama-free. Good luck!
I understand that Ford had a 1/8 inch acceptable tolerance when building these cars. That might explain some of the overall gaps to some extent.

@@67mustangcouperestoration Very true. I have also seen it said the quality often depended on the day of assembly with Fridays being the worst.
Music is a little bit loud. Great job 👏
question : isn't there a difference between full floor for a convertible and a fastback/coupe ??
Yes. The convertible floor is not as wide, because the inner convertible rockers make the floor a few inches narrower.
