Camro floor
k i just signed up for this site today so hopefully i get some help lol..... i am 21 years old so i dont know much about this stuff yet but hope to soon.... i have a 1980 berlinetta with alot of rust holes in the floors mainly the driver and passenger side up front and under the back seats any one know what i can do to fix it or where i can order parts from? any help is greatly appreciated
You can order floor patch panels from several places. They come as either individual front and rear, or one each front, and one each rear( right and left).
Biscay's Classic sells them.

You'll need to cut out the old floorbaords, but don't do so until you have patch panels in hand! Clean the area thoroughly with a wire wheel and a drill motor. Then lay the panels on top the floor and mark around them. Cut the floor out slightly smaller than the patch panel so you have 1/2"-3/4" overlap.
You can weld the panels in (best way!) or pop rivet them in and coat them with spray on bed liner to seal them up inside and out.
Lots of work, so I hope the rest the car is nice enough to deserve the repairs!

The only other "bad thing about the car is the rear frame rails are starting to rot out but other than that its been my daily driver for the past like 5 months but my foot sunk the other day and i decided to find out why and ta da lol so...... I was just worried that it wasnt fixable like i said i know nothing about this stuff yet, motor is different i know qquite a bit about them.... Thanks for the help
I can't remember where but there's a company now producing the entire floorpan from front firewall to rear seat as a one piece deal.
If you're losing the frame also, I'd seriously consider dumping the car! You're getting into really major dollars and work, (and again) unless it's really nice otherwise, not worth the time and money.
im getting a donor shell from arizona and im going to transfer parts over to it from this one im not even gunna f*** with it..... after i have it stripped i might see if anyone wants it here on craigslist for like 100-250 bucks if not ill scrap it but thanks for all the help guys
