I thought someone would chime in about the weird box below the rear passenger floor just behind the front seat. When I drilled holes for the inside (inboard) bucket seat bolts I had to drill through the regular floor sheet metal then through another piece of sheet metal. When I looked under the car (59 Silver Hawk) I found a box attached to the underside of the floor, the box is about 3 1/2" deep and 12" wide. It's just dead space and I don't know it's purpose?? Does anyone know the purpose of this box, it's on both sides of the car. You can see the back side of the box in this pic, sorry...I accidentally attached it 4 times and don't know how to delete. It drops down just in front of the muffler bracket.
This picture from a few years ago when I was redoing the driveshaft tunnel on my '53 (essentially the same as your Hawk).
