floor pan bolts

Supposed to be an artilce here:

Here is my "generic" check list:

Remove battery, disconnect harness in engine bay and up front to brake switches and horn. Clamp fuel line and pull tank. Disconnect wires at the Gen regulator (where needed) and disconnect the starter solenoid wire under the back seat. Disconnect brake fluid reservoir line. Disconnect speedo cable at the wheel. Disconnect the steering shaft at the steering box or rubber coupling. Disconnect heater cables at the rear footwell outlets and at front footwell outlets in later cars. Remove the heater hoses between heat exchanger and body. Remove 2 bolts under fuel tank where body attaches to beam.

Remove bolts under rear seat (cross-wise). Remove 1 bolt under each rear fender well by the shock support. Remove bolts around perimeter underneath. I prefer an impact wrench for these as you have a better chance of getting stuck ones out. There are a couple more bolts underneath each side toward the front (under the front bulkhead). These can be nasty to get out. Use impact again.

I prefer to remove everything that can be removed to make the body lighter: hoods, doors (need impact driver), fenders (not Ghia). If the heater channels are rusted out, leave the doors on and consider welding in a temporary brace.

Have stout saw-horses ready to set the thing on if you're going to work on the body.

Probably forgot some detail, but that's most of it...
