alini Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I stripped my interior and the rear footwells are 'cupped'. The center is lower than the outsides. Is this normal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb1970 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Looks like they slope to a drain plug. I'd say it's normal. Did you clean up the seats before you gutted the inside? I kind of wanted to see if it looked presentable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alini Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Apart from being split in a few spots the seats we're 'okay'. The carpet was trashed. I'm building the 'Interior' page for the rebuild pages. Welcome to the Home of Ali'N'I Edited July 5, 2012 by alini (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheezeMan Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 My '63 rear foot wells were bent a little at the drain hole. Probably a PO had the vehicle lifted by the body rather than the frame. This photo is is after I repainted the floor. Shows the contours fairly well. I did not fix the bent areas, as they weren't that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenugent Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 look under 63-65 riviera parts on ebay they have replacement pans on there with a pretty good picture of what your looking for.t.nugent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 A body man here in Shawnee is putting some of these "repo pans" he got from CARS ( he thinks they're made by classic fabricatons) in a customers '63 Riviera. When I saw them they were lying on the floor of the '63. He explained to me that these aren't really reproductions; they're not stamped. They're cut to a certain shape, pie cuts are made where needed and then bent on a sheet metal brake to a rough fit. You have to trim them to fit, them weld in small triangular pieces to fill in the pie cuts. He said there's a lot of time involved in getting these to work. Might be cheaper to see if one of the desert salvage yards doesn't have a good original floor they could cut out for you.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
