Re: rust repair on the '77...here goes nothin
Time for the floor:
This is the single thing that drove me to begin this project in the first place.
Amazingly this bolt turned out albeit with a breaker bar.
Outer rocker seemed ok so I cleaned it up and left it.
Now to put things back together.
Mock up bottom of kick panel
bottom of kick panel and inner rocker combo
Inner rocker I got from Tabco had part of the outer floor molded in as one piece which was nice.
Inner rocker needed some larger drain holes to hopefully not trap as much debris and moisture
Got my $3 worth out of this disc.
New floor support
There was no saving this piece
so I cut a new one out of the left over kick panel
Floor reproduction from Tabco sucked because it was made for a truck, but I was able to make it work because the seat mount area was still ok. It's good heavy gauge material though. 16ga I think.
This area has no reproduction piece that I know of so I had to make it. Almost an entire day in this photo.
The edge of the left over truck floor had close to the right form so I used it.
