1968 Floor pan
1968 Floor pan
I was devastated to learn that the floor pan of my 1968 Toronado is rusted through. You can see the carpet from below. My mechanic will apply rust inhibitor and fiberglass to forestall further deterioration. Any other suggestions? Know of any sources of a compatible aftermarket replacement set?

Re: 1968 Floor pan
My mechanic repaired this as follows:
1. Removed front seat and carpet
2. Wire brushed floor pan from above and below
3. Soaked in rust-preventative solution overnight
4. Fiberglassed pan
5. Replaced interior
Sorry I wasn't around to shoot photos of the repair.
We'll see how well this holds up to South Florida's salty air. If it doesn't, I'll have to source a complete set of floor pan parts to weld in.
