If I am not mistaken I/we used the lower $$ of NPD's floor pan. It fit like a glove, the metal was a little thinner (from what the catalog implied) which allowed it to bend some to fit it into the car- but welded up-its like a rock. If they are all like that- I wouldn't spend extra $$-
i used a spectra, its very thick, and fit was great.
might actually be harder to form into the floor crossmember section than the thinner pieces which might be a good thing, or a bad thing depending on how hard you are willing to work.

Ya know- you might be on to something there: We did install the floor tight to the tranny hump x member (way tighter than either of the other two stangs here that have factory floors) and it was easy to pull tight at the rockers as well.
Our U.S.-made 011135-1A is Sherman. Our imported 011135-1AR is Golden Legion. I'm not sure who Dynacorn is buying their pan through, but there are plenty of different full-floor tools running in Taiwan.
So even though the U.S. importers may be sticking their logo on pans, it is not really a case of everybody rebadging the same part.
Rick, I had just assumed my NPD floor was Dynacorn. I thought the sales guy on the NPD phone said it was but it was a long time ago. Could you look at the first few pics in This Link and tell me if you think it looks like the Golden Legion floor or the Sherman? Regardless, it fit great but I'd like to know for future threads like this and to correct my blog. It was purchased in Nov of 2008. Thanks!
The names of the actual factories that make imported restoration parts are not household names... Hence brand-marketing by major w/d sheetmetal importers such as Dynacorn, Goodmark, AMD, Keystone, etc....
Some products are proprietary, some are not. You're talking about thousands and thousands of parts, so it's not reasonable/feasible to expect to understand or know all the ins and outs, exclusives and non-exclusives... Asking questions on forums like this is always helpful, and make sure you buy through a reputable source in case you ever have problems...
Nice work on the seats! In keeping with the rest of your restoration!
