there isnt a wire left in the car and dry ice to remove old sound mat

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

First I've seen of the dry ice "trick". Something to store in the memory bank

Thanks!

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

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.
