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'?

Yeah, I got inspired by looking at all of the other posts on here, took a welding class, sold some stuff so I could afford a welder...and here I am. Who knows I might be able to pull it off, too?
Of course 'rust free' it will never be, but I'll do what I can- I at least want to make sure it's not going to break in two (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) Hoping to have the car drivable within a month or so. Who knows, maybe I'll be able it up to Everett for the races after all! Call anytime Bill, it'd be great to have an opportunity to return the hospitality! |
