    I could really use some help out there. I'm restoring a 1937 chevy coupe. The front part of the floor board is cut out. I wanted to see a photo of the floor pan from the bottom of a stock car. Anybody out there could share some photos? Having trouble finding some photos online. Spent a good bit searching.
     
  2. maybe go to EMS website and look at their repro floor pans...

  4. I wonder how much difference there is in a 37 and a 39? I have a 39 here.
     

  5. Here’s a pic of an aftermarket side front floor panel.

    An OE pic is hard to find.
    Bump hoping someone can post one

    Anyone who tells you the floor pans from 1937-1940 are the same is smoking something, and full of crap! I put all new floor pans in my '39 Chev coupe and the replacements were advertised as fitting 1937-40 Chev coupes. Neither front, nor rear are a perfect fit, and the rear was so far off I tossed them aside and made my own from sheet metal. Front pans were a pretty close fit, but I had to cut 1" strips to fill in the void at the outer edge where they were shy of the rockers.
    If I ever did another '39 I'd skip buying the rear pans, and make my own. The front that are multi year will work with some effort on your part, but the back isn't worth all the reworking needed.
    Front '37-'39 kit. Notice they didn't come with a stock trans cover, I tossed the raised covers, and built my own for the trans tunnel:

    Test fitting after I built new rockers:
