New here 66 Polara project

[beckleyba]

Hey everyone.

I'm Brandon. Just purchased a 66 Polara 2 Dr Hardtop with a 383. Can't wait to get her out on the road. She needs a few things before I can do that though. Mainly I need help finding all the floor panels and a passenger window. I'll post in the appropriate forums when I get a chance. Thanks in advance.

I bought a 66 Polara a couple years ago and found myself in the same situation. The car has rusty floors. There isn't a great option for reproduction parts, and I found that most parts cars I saw had floors that were no better than what I already had. Classic to Current makes patch panels, but they aren't great, and they don't cover the entire area thats rusted on my floors. But, I think they will work as a starting point with the addition of some extra sheet metal welded in where needed. Haven't started this project yet. But I am anxious to get this car on the road.
