Glad to see your inspirational pics.  I am getting ready to tackle mine.  Instead of using convertible boxes, I am going with 69 model.  I will have to narrow them slightly, but that should be pretty easy.  The hard part is that my car is on the 4-post lift and they are hard to get to.

You lucky-rotisserie-owning-guy.

Thanks for posting those.

This is ah 66 coupe. I got the boxs from CJ pony they were listed as "65-66 coupe" boxs. If you already have your toe boards in then you'll have some careful trimming to do. If you look at the first pic you can see to the right where I had to trim out around the frame rails flange. And reverse the flange on the rocker side. I put it in my vise sandwiched between two boards so as to bend the whole flap at once. The most important thing to remember is your trying to fit these as flat to the toe board as possible, So your trimming and lining up all the indents and contours of the two panels. IT LOOKS SIMPLER THEN IT IS.

You can ,and I've seen it done that way, but it's not how they were done from the factory. And after the 20 some cuts I had to make just to fit them this way. I could only imagine what ah PIA it would be

I think our wires are crossed. The way the factory would install them is ,the boxes went in first (from the bottom), then they would lay the ( fire wall / toe board panel ) over the top (From inside the car). And spot weld the two together. The fitment problem comes when you try and (ADD) boxes to a 65-66 coupe that still has its toe boards in it (Chicken or the egg thing). Thats why i had to split them apart, and trim some off the sides, and reverse the "rocker side" flange. I'm I makin any sense? I'm corn fused

Heck, far... I don't know...  I bought the ones that are in three separate pieces so you don't have to disassemble them to weld them in.  I see from your pics that you DO have to use the floor boards in conjunction with the boxes.

I'll have to get Tyler to scrape out all the old undercoating and seam-sealer and then wire-wheel the entire area so I can see what has to happen to fit the later model boxes in there. 

My welder misses me.  I haven't used it since this morning.
