Can you get a custom built car floor pan for your 1978 Plymouth Volare?
You can get a custom made floor pan for any vehicle from a metal workshop/ classic car restorer, but it would be very expensive. I found a site that sells plymouth used parts at (jimazparts) says he has a full front floor pan for 76-77 auto, same body. You could aslo get part of the floor board that you need and weld it in, goodmarkindustries sells patches/foot wells. Other options would be to: 1. look on aspen/volare forums like fmjbodiesonly for someone parting one out. 2. get a similar reproduction floor pan and cut and insert filler strips of metal to make it fit your body, an example use an A-body or E-body pan and cut it up and make it fit.

How do you remove the body from the floor pan of a beetle?
Am assuming this is about the old, air-cooled one. Basically the body shell is bolted to the floor pan, so if you remove the carpeting and rear seat you should be able to see some bolt heads. If you undo these it the body should begin to separate. The body isn't that heavy, four guys can lift it off no trouble - but make sure it's loose before you start straining. Removing the fenders first is a good idea.
