I just cut the railing for the seat because i was seating to high whit my new seat. I think the fun will start on the passenger side because of the bump for the catalytic converter. But those seats look to good....

Don't throw it away. You'll need to put it back sooner or later.

The reinforcement/crossmember will be in the way too. On my '72 I drilled out the spot welds and removed the seat rails and crossmember to mount aftermarket seats as low as possible, I'm going to add a crossmember underneath to make up for it. All of my stuff was rusted to crap anyway, it looks like they assembled the floor and then painted it, the underneath and inside of everything was bare metal/rust.

You are crazy, but that is beyond the discussion here :P We are all FIAT car nuts here so you are among family :lol:

Please share photos. The amount of work and detail that have gone into that car is amazing.

So you cut this? What are you doing to reinforce that area? Floor pan alone is not going to be strong enough, correct? :?:

You need to upload them to a photo site and them use the img /img brackets between the address to make it show...
