hope after 3 years
 guess we just have to get with Lance and like we did with the sliders he made a while back; pony up some cash or at least show willingness to purchase......... then he can give us a price for front sheet metal floorboard patches.....IMO the stumbling block has been when we have asked people to try to make the entire floor pan and with the variations 'tween different years makes it a much more complex and pricey task..if we have only the flats made with the beads that would simplify things for Lance and heck we can add the flat plate where it is needed.......just my 0.02

 Lance has to make a living and IPOR does a great job at making things for our pigs; after talking at length today .........if he feels he can turn a profit, even a modest one...... he will go ahead and fab them..............where you lose the ability to make that profit is when there are too many demands on time/labor;  think we erred on requesting too many variations early on in this thread when we approached others..........if we can present him with a "simple" generic type of floor pan patch request I think that he will come through for us....please share your thoughts on this HTH

I don't think I ever noticed how much arch there is in the floor right in front of the back seat until now -- there are curves running across the beads. Is this typical, or did something bad happen to my floor?

Typical.
This is what I need. Maybe just back to the start of the seat bracket and over to where is starts getting difficult on the tranny. From what I have seen this is the biggest issue in pigs as well as the body mount under them.

Marshall X 2 on the rust prone areas.....Lance mentioned also about fabbing the frame to body support when making the patches and this would be ideal .......IMO the curve on later models could be probably solved by welding flat sheet......as needed! ....give him a call or better yet, drop IPOR an email to show interest....as any good businessman he will respond to demand/volume just my 0.02

Only problem I am seeing with this is the bend upward and where the body mount is. I have nearly perfect floors on my 75 and the paint still even looks new for the most part. BUT- that body mount traps mud and debries so, right at the juncture of the mount bolt and the bend upward rots out.

Lance shared that he was thinking about making the body mounts with the floor pan patches.....  might be time for him to see that there is quite a bit of interest in the group for replacing/patching rusted out floor pans

Nobody makes them currently as far as I know. You could fab your own depending on what you need.

OK folks, I just talked to Paul. It's time to put your money where your mouth is and put some FIRM (paid) orders in. My '55 is done, though I'd likely be in for front fenders and at some point down the road, the rear quarters. My priority at this time is my '45LV.

When I spoke with him he said he was going to be doing them either this week and/or next. It will be older floors first since he has the '72 in the shop. He did not mention possible pricing though.

I'm going to visit Paul next weekend. We'll be talking about 'Cruiser stuff for sure! I'm excited to visit with the guru/wizard of 'Cruiser sheetmetal!
Apparently he has been ill for the last couple of weeks.
