What do you do about holes in your floor pans?

[turbomaxx]

Just curious about this. my camaro has a few small holes, none of them bigger than a nickel, in the floor pans.


Is there any way to fix this without buying and welding in new floorpans? and DIY tricks?

floor mats lol

just get sheet metal and weld them over. It dosent matter bc its covered by carpet.

Or you can do what paul walker did and get lightweight floors. Just make sure you dont blow the welds on the intake

That's the one thing that doesn't seem to rust on CB7s!

You can buy replacement floorpans from many aftermarket companies. Search on Google for it, and you'll likely find a few good links. The older cars especially have those things available.

Long term bandaid? Hmm...put tape on the other side, and fill the hole in with JB weld...lol.

now THATS the sort of answer i was looking for. thanks.



oh one question, will that seal properly? no rain will leak up in there?

[JohnD1079]

just put some sort of sealant where the plate and floor meet, like in between where the rivets would be.
