Thats what I was hoping to see. I also figured i could leave the front seat brackets in place as well. Thanks alot.

Thinking of replacing floor pan, are there any measurements for welding in seat mounts after new floor pans installed? The Zedd floors seem the way to go, do they offer any replacement measurement?

I have a 73 Z, anybody know of a reputable restoration place that will do the Z right?

Sounds like someone put the kybosh on you, that blows.

I took mine out, cut it in half(long ways) right above the weld seem. I had it sand blasted, welded, pressure tested, and powder coated, for around $250. Looks better than brand new. If you do this, just make sure you take compressed air and run a nozzle in one of the holes to constantly have fresh air running throught it. It may go boom if you dont.

The reason I brought this up, is I have a white 73Z, and I saw a die cast model of a white Z with a black hood, I thought it looked pretty cool. There are lots of late 60's muscle cars also with flat black hoods.

Does anybody know the significance of a flat black hood with rest of car painted? What paint would I use to paint it, or clear coat?

What a thread, Im just about to start the conversion. I had a guy who claims to be a Z expert, say I needed to cut the drive shaft to get it to fit in between the manual gearbox and the diff. I guess this is not the case since no one has mentioned it. Thanks for all the info
