Pretty standard rust damage you got there. I'd pick up a reproduction rear floor pan and just use the sections that are rusted out if you want to take some acceptable shortcuts. Installing a full rear pan takes a long time, so it's not a project to be undertaken lightly, but the payoff is some peace of mind knowing that you've eliminated a lot of surface rust.

The rust on the vertical walls is the kind of stuff that I just make my own panels for. No complicated bends, so it's just trim & patch. Not worth the expense of buying formed pieces.

Check under your pedal cluster for rust as well. And what's up with the area where the seat belt reel attaches?

Great before and after shots on your carbs and motor, amazing the difference.

What did you do to make such crisp bends for your seat mount? Almost looks like put a slight cut on one side before the bend.
