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'? Attached image(s)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) JUST A LITTLE TIP ON WELDING HOLES WITH A MIG, GET A PIECE OF COPPER PLATE, AND PUT BEHIND THE HOLES WHEN YOU MIG THEM, THE MIG WONT STICK TO THE COPPER AND LESS LIKLY TO MAKE THE HOLES BIGGER, CAN ALSO ADJUST THE WIRE FEED ON THE MIG TO PUT OUT MORE THIS IS BETTER TO FILL WITH, SEE IF YOU CAN FIND A PIECE TO PRACTICE ON TO GET THE MIG ADJUSTED RIGHT, GOOD LUK STEVE
