The first thing we decided to do was to get a head start on repairing rust in the floors. It looks very ugly and depressing, so the sooner we can make it go away the better! The car is rusty in the floor pans on the drivers side, but not on the passenger. This is due to how the car was sitting in the field for many years. The floors on that side were very near the ground while the other side was not. Unfortunatly, the sheet metal that is under the drivers side of the front seat is rusted out also. As far as we know this panel has not been reproduced. Therefore, it’s goona need to be made from scratch! The brace under it is a little questionable too, so we may replace that also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
