I have a few rust spots in my floor pans and other places. How complicated is it to patch these places? Cut out and weld in I mean. Do any of you guys know a good supplier of these panels. Thanks

 

Unless the rust has rotted right through and created a hole, you don't need to weld new panels in. Just sandblast and fill.

Unfortunately it has. The rust is about 3" in diameter. Not big enough for a whole pan. I was just going to beat out pieces of sheetmetal to make panels. There are other places that I'm going to sandblast...but there are a few I have to weld in new material. I didn't know if anyplace sold just the bottoms of the back seats. I don't need the whole pan. I'm also going to be needing new rear quarters and inner fenders. I don't know why people let their cars get this bad. I just had to buy it to save the thing.

Fiero, Glue the patches in. 3M,Fusor,Duramix,Kent,Crest make a glue for metal bonding. It's acually stronger than welding and it completly seals the patch from moisture etc. As a bonus, there is no chance of burning up your car.
