Mustangs and early Falcon DO NOT share a common floor .

If you are going to use the Mustang sheet metal for nothing than metal to reshape you are asking for a large amount of work that would result in more effort then buying the correct Falcon floorpan replacement parts from a vendor.

the mustang floors are a lot less in price and will only add on 5 hours more hours to get them to fit right but saved alot of money by going with mustang

Falcon panels cost about $80 and no reshaping is needed. Five hours of time at "shop rate" comes out to about $450...

The floors can be found at any of the mentioned vendors.

And I also agree with Yank, "those people" be damned... Even if you are doing your own work and aren't actually spending the 90 bucks an hour to fit floorpans you are wasting time that you could spend driving the car or working on something else besides rust... Or enjoying a refreshing malt beverage...

If the correct parts are available at a reasonable price why kludge?
