    uh hu. I purchased the body in the condition you see it in, which includes already having the plywood floors glassed in very solidly. the strange part is that, as you can see in the pic, the floor allows the rear of the body to be chalnneled over the frame, but the front is flush with the lower edge of the body. if you look at the bottom of the door line, you may see that it appears that a pie cut was taken off the lower edge of the body at some point for whatever reason. I ani't cuttin out that floor, but I expect I'll replace the missing lower pie cut of glass, so it will appear channeled over the frame once again. It is an old body, but it's pretty solid and the price was right.
