Hey gang...
I was looking to replace the front floor pans on my '69 Charger 500. AMD only makes the complete floor pan or the driver/passenger side sectional. But, they don't make a section in the other direction, front or rear. Someone nice enough emailed me stating that in Mopar Collector's Guide, there's an advertisement for a sheetmetal company that sells front floor pans from driver's to passenger side. My hump has been cut up and I'm weighing my options. Pete was nice enough to send me a section of the hump, but I don't think it's going to be enough. My eventual plans are to replace the 727 with a 4-speed, but that'll come way down the road. I initially want to get the car road worthy and that entails using the 727 for now. I can spend my money in more important places up front (ie brakes, floor pan, etc..).
Cheers,

I'm pretty sure AMD sells what you're looking for, although your description is a little vague.
Look at their website: http://www.autometaldirect.com/ListItems/MainCategory/Floor.aspx
They make practically everything for a 69 Charger.
Nope, I called them Friday. The only thing they carry for floopans for me are the partial driver's half/passenger's half and complete. They don't seel front or rear partials. I asked if they would sell a front partial of a damaged/return complete and they said no. I see where Goodmark sells the partial under the rear seat. But, that doesn't do me any good. I contacted Texas Acres for an original front partial... We'll see...

Pony up, buy the full AMD pan( I'd install the whole thing, but?), take what you need, sell the rest, always someone looking to "patch" a car together 
It may very well boil down to that... Unfortunately, don't have a lot of ponies, so I'm looking at all possible options... If the floor pan isn't a big issue/job, I may tackle it myself with someone helping/tutoring me on the welding like I did with the lower radiator core support. I figure there are a ton of spot welds to knock down... Gotta remember, I'm a novice when it comes to body work. The rest of the automobile,,,, I'm pretty comfortable with as you saw on my '68 Hemi project...
