1935-36 Floor pan question

[Firepower flyer]

Hey guys I need to pick some brains here.I have a 36 3 window that I'm doing and it's going to need a floor pan.I don't want to use EMS or wait 10 years for Bradley,I want it to look 100% Henry when it's all done.The driver side door A pillar is seperated from the subrail and is going to need the majority of the pan replaced also.The trunk floor and riser area is good in my car.What I need to know is a Tudor humpback sedan have the same floor pan as a coupe?Keep in mind I only need it to go to the rear riser,not into the trunk area,as I know thats not the same..I was thinking of using the subrails and floor pan out of a tudor if I find a clean one.Any thoughts or info would be great.
Thanks
Joe

From the rear of the door (in the coupe) foward is the same

Noticed this auction on eBay not long ago. Don't know anything about the company or the product, but may be worth checking out for information if nothing else.

The floors forward of the rear seat riser are all the same for all '35-'36 passenger cars (there are some very minor differences between '35 and '36 floors but none of them affect the fit floor to the sills).

Ok guys thanks that's what I was hoping for. I saw those on ebay but I really would like to find a nice clean solid tudor. What I want to do is cut the donar car right through the A pillars in the middle of the windshield and down low on the quarters and graft the two bodies together.My car needs floors,partial rocker,cowl and quarter patchs. I bought all those patchs from EMS and I'm not impressed with them,there fine if your building a street rod but not for what I'm doing.I think by the time I fit all the aftermarket patches in the car it would by faster and turn out a much nice repair if I used a donar car. Now I need to find one!!
Thanks Joe

I emailed Bradley and left 2 phone messages with his secretary in the last 2 weeks and all have been ignored. I have a EMS floor kit and agree , it will work , but look nothing even close to original.

The front floorpans on a coupe, convertibles and roadster is longer than on sedans, maybe 10 inches or so? The seatriser is further back on the sedans.
It also means that the rear corners swings up over the frame more on coupes than sedans.
Otherwise they are equally

33 I figured the coupe takes the same length door as a Tudor sedan so I figured the floor pan should be the same in that area. So your saying the seat area is different?Where in the rear corners are you talking? Not arguing just trying to figure this out.I'm hoping I can still do what I was thinking?
Thanks for the replys.

Here's a picture of a 2 door sedan floor pan. The red line is the back of the door on a 3 window coupe. The blue line is where the raise starts on for the trunk in a 2 door sedan. So from the back of the door foward in a coupe the floor is exactly the same. Behind the door there is a bigger panel before the raise for the trunk starts in a coupe.

I got lucky when I ordered my Bradley Floor pans in mid 90s-- delivery wise. Super happy with them-- might be worth the wait if having "like original" is important.

Thanks Ken, that makes sense.I think I could make it work if I found a clean donar.

A 35 Floor is relatively easy to make ,maybe

I have used the front floor pans and the tunnel from a sedan in my roadster. But I had to extend them. In the picture you can see on the tunnel how much I extended it.
I have circled the corner in the picture I was talking about, unfortunately I had no photo of how a sedan looks there, but they are less upturned

[FlatheadTed]

In general the rumble riser takes the rear seat in a sedan as well ,I think the trunk back sedan should have the same floor pan as if follows the chassis were you have circled it .Maybe were the difference is the flat back ,like a 34 Vicky the stock floor has a extension to bring the seat forward to accommodate the slopped back /rear .

The floor in my picture above is a sedan cut right at the beging of the hump.

Here's a picture of the rear of a coupe floor and picture of a sedan floor as a comparison.

Why wait for someone that won't respond? I got 3 sets in a reasonable amount of time back in the 80's but now things appear to be different.

[FlatheadTed]

This is a hand made 35 Floor .Much simpler to make than a 34 .Ted

Just ordered and got both the left and right front floor pieces (26") from Paul Bradley.

He had them in stock as of three weeks ago. E-mailed Paul, he sent back that he had the pieces in stock, called Marie with the plastic. Took two weeks and a phone call to Paul, but they did arrive.
