Default Just bought me a 79 Camaro, need to put in floor pans..

First time posting, my name is Mike and I live around the Houston TX area (Katy TX)
Has anyone put in floor pans on a 2nd gen camaro? are there any videos or books to guide someone on a restoration? I paid 500.00 for the car today, its here and I'm ready to bring this gem back.

Welcome to the forum. I recommend you purchase the Camaro Restoration Handbook by Tom Currao and Ron Sessions. isbn 0-89586-375-8 It covers 1967 through 1981 Camaros. I bought my copy for around $18 some time ago. It probably is still under $25. It doesn't however go into replacing the floor. That would most likely be covered in a book on body work.

There's a number of really great project topics at another forum that cover exactly what you're planning. Check here:

Default Hey

Hey I also just bought a '79 Camaro Berlinetta rolling chassis. If you find any good places to buy parts for it can you please tell me, or if you find any good places helping explain restoring it your help would be appreciated. Thanks

I started a new thread because this one was just a question about the floor pans, I decided to restore the whole car so I started a new project thread with pictures of the car called "Echoleader's 79 Camaro project"
