    Hello everyone,

    I'm looking at replacing the whole floors of my 53 cranbrook because there's a hole big enough to put my head in on either side! I'm just learning some metal fabrication stuff and nosing around the HAMB I've seen a few different ways people have been doing them. My car has a hump where the seats mount to the floor and I've seen some IE tylerdurbens floors in his 50 shoebox has floors that are just plain simple and flat.

    my question is... can I cut out the hump for the seats and just replace the floors with a flat piece of steel or do I need that bracing? I'm thinking of replacing the old bench seat with buckets and a console but if I'd keep the bench if I can just make mounts. I'm new to this fabricating stuff so any information about how I can do my floors would be great. I'll take some pics of the progress as soon as I can.

    Thanks,
    Kerry
