Default Bad news

Upon further stripping of the old sound mat I have found some small rust holes in the passenger foot well. Since I have to patch an older poor mans patch in the trans tunnel I’ll be cutting the bad out and replacing that as well

I probably don’t have to tell you this but there are footwell pan pieces available and they’re cheap — most all of these cars collected moisture in these areas.... and need them. And You don’t need to use the whole piece — I buy them and cut the part I need and stitch it in... Bam! Done.

It works well. Let sit for like 10 min. Use a hammer to break it up and scrap with a stiff putty knife

Default rust issues found and fixed

in removing most of the old sound mat i found that the old owner used fiberglass and bondo to fill the floors. they where rotted out. for a guy who replaced every exterior panel to no replace the floors in interesting. but all 4 floor pans and the trans tunnel have been replaced and i can now start building this car.

FYI. The Fusor company makes a (DTM) direct to metal seam sealer. It gives you the option to seam seal on bare metal or over primer like you are. Sometimes it's a nice option. It comes in beige or black # 800DTM or 803DTM respectively.
