Rust treating, killing, etc, and just want to get some input before I get to crazy with the MIG.
Here are some questions: I have some floor pan issues. Are the holes too big just to try and fill? The following photo is from the driverside, under the seat after the tar has been removed, and I've grinded down to bare metal. Should I advertise for someone who's cutting up a car to cut this pieces out for me, or should I just go buy some sheet metal and make a patch knowing it won't really match, but can at least be made to 'line up'?

Next set of questions:
Do I just cut the jack plate out? And leave the rocker as is except for using Metal Ready on it? There are a few holes in the inner rocker panel as you can see in the photo, but can I just cut these out and weld a new patch in? Or should I really cut into the whole thing with the idea that there might be rust (might, that's a laugh) on the inside that will need to be treatd as well? How do I cut the plate off? Just use a Sazall and/or snips, or do I use the welder to 'melt' the existing welds so I can pull it off? There is also rust at the top of the inner rocker along the length of the driver side where it meets the door threshold (I think this is the correct name.) The door threshold all but covers it up in the photo- Do I just apply metal ready to this area? Attached image(s) |
