Since my new welder is busy zapping away I finally got up enough gutts to tackle my passanger front floor pan. It isnt perfect but i did my best and It is super strong.The quality of the mustangs unlimited floor pans sucked. nothing matched , the floor that goes from the firewall to the level floor has ribs in it well the new pan had to be hammered to fit the contour of the old floor. the length was terriable. But I made it work. I bought new rear pans but it appears they are missing a spot. see the picture on the piece I need, it is outlined in red.

It's supposed to be like that. The rear torque box occupies that space. HOPE that it does
