2 options

spend a few hundred on a replacement passneger floor pan from hawks thirdgen parts or somewhere else

or if its not the whole floor pan and just where the persons feet go then take it to a welding shop and pay a few bucks for a piece of sheet metal and whatever labor is for them to weld it in

goodluck

If you go to a junkyard, get more than what you need... It is easier to take away from your new piece than try to add to it.

Re: camaro body/interior

i would use the junk yard as a last resort personally

onyl because so much time spent on trying to find a thirdgen at a junk yard thats in decent condition and not rusted out


also taking the time to plasma cut or cut any way how to get the floor pan out


i think it would be easiest and quickest to remove your passenger side seat and carpet and drive it to a weld shop let them cut out the bad metal and patch in new steel

but you have been given 3 options do whatever you want
