Do I'd have an other part welded inside to reinforce the apron as on the later style ? I can't see any old weld point or mark ....Could somebody confirm that ?

You don't need any inner reinforcement panel for this type of apron.

Hi,
I'm working on the paint code,
I'll need some L35 metallic blue to repaint the arch wheels and rear apron, I need a old style paint , none "new water" paint, where I could find it ?
I'll need also some red to make some touch up on the wheels and repaint the hubcaps clips, I was thinking the paint code was ruby red L456 but I'm not sure about this ...could somebody confirm it ?

Hi palmgreen57 it is impressive how untouched this floor pan is , so glad you'll keep it original Applause .

The white lettering on the floor "11C" means "sedan de luxe" that's what my birth certificate says for my June 1953 oval though I don't know what "I.O" means but I would love to know myself.

Since this floor is so original would you please post some close up pics of the floor rubber mats especially the buttons from up and underside of the mat and the buttons on the floor ?
Keep up the good work !
