Re: Small holes in floor and trunk

The only way to correctly repair rust is to completely cut out the rusty area and butt weld new metal in. Think of it as cancer. If you don't get it all out, it will come back, worse than ever.

Thanks folks for all the good suggestions--any more is welcome. Another ideah I was given: Soak fiberglass cloth matt in Por-15 silver. I don't know what difference the silver would be, but it might look more purty :-) One thing I see is, with a POR-15 treatment, all the rust would not have to be wire brushed off-- just oil frre..............................MO

I'd suggest a few coats of POR-15, with JB Weld for the hole filler. I'm in the process of performing a hole filling job on a '56 Coronet floorpan - welding - and, even for a guy who earns his living as a welder, this job sucks! Best of luck with your project!
