    rear of front suspension floor pan replacement?

    Has anyone replaced that part of the floor pan that goes over the steering rack and front suspension cross member, has the rear mounts for the front suspension, and is the front-most part of the floor pan in the passenger compartment?

    My '65 needs this part (along with the rest of the floor pans - front to back) replaced and I am looking for advice about replacing this piece while keeping the front suspension aligned all while the car is elevated.

    TIA,

    This (http://www.restoration-design.com/store/product/PP218B) is the piece I need to use to replace the rotted out floor in my '65.

    While I have,and will need to replace, the other parts of the floor (PP200, PP218, and PP219) I have replaced these on my '69 and thus have experience with aligning these parts.

    I am concerned about the alignment of PP218B since this is rather critical...

    Thanks

    You need to find a shop with a Cellette bench and the proper fixtures to maintain chassis alignment during repairs
