    Hey all, been a member a while, but haven't been too active. I am starting to dive into a 32 5w project and could use some help. I am looking for some pictures of the floor and frame to body mounting areas as the floor in my coupe is not original and I want to fix the work someone else has done. I know the front bolts to the frame at the base of the firewall, but I am unsure about the rear and center. I have searched a bit and I haven't found pictures that show me the whole story. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Sorry for the double post. I have been doing searching and reading but cannot find how the subrails/floor attaches to the body. Any insight on that would be appreciated.

    The subrails bolt directly to the top frame rail. If you box the frame weld nuts inside the frame first. On final assembly place webbing between frame and subrail. edit. I think I misread that. The body is rivetted and or welded to the subrails.

    google United Pacific images and study the brackets between the body and the floor. The wheel well are spot welded to the sub the rest of the quarters are semi open to let moisture out.
