Not yet.. should have my drivers side floorpan on Thursday and will begin welding everything this weekend. I was finding more and more that I didn't like about the cage so I cut everything out except the roll bar. I'm going to cut the roll bar out next so I can shorten it 1" and clean it up then re-install it at the same time.

Picked up my floor pan today. Looks to be made well. I did notice that the stamping that runs from front to rear for factory wiring to lay into is stamped with 3 small lines rather then one large one so it's not going to match my existing perfectly, but it will do the job since this car is already cut up and tubbed.

You always want to try and keep as much original metal as possible and only cut out what's rusted away. I cut back far enough to get to good solid metal so the two pieces can be butt welded together.
This is my first attempt at doing floors like this, but I learned it all from the internet and reading the good old muscle car mag. LOL If you can find it the August 2010 "Floor Dance" article in the Muscle Car Review mag is top notch and incredibly educational.

Well I manged to get the front drivers pan welded in. Figured I'd tackle the worst patch first hoping it can only get easier from here on out. I've still got some grinding to do, but it's going to work out well.
