Hey Steve! Did you get brave and cut that rusted area out today?

just a thought
I filled some holes like that on a truck I was working on a couple of summers ago. I hammered a fat piece of copper tubing flat, held it in place with a jack and used my wire feed to build up the area and fill the holes. The weld won't stick to the copper. I don't know how thin the metal around your problem is, but it worked ok on the floorboard of my pick up. Wish I'd thought of taking pics when I was at it.

Thanks, things are on a back burner for a bit here lately. I've been getting my yard work done, just opened my pool yesterday, and am trying to get 15 yards of mulch somehow that doesn't cost me $600! Plus I am changing my employment. I am going to transition my day job to a night job, and I'm getting back into construction, back in a Union, double the pay, and better insurance. The camaro project will benefit in the end.

Once the floor gets welded up I'll be able to finish doing the POR15 and can get some sound deadener in there.

I just spent an hour reading through everything on this thread. I'm looking at doing a build too once I get my camaro, and hopefully everything goes smoothly today. This project looks awesome ATM, can't wait to see how it turns out! I'm going to start my own build thread; mine won't be as extensive but once it's all said and done she should run and drive daily

It took me four evenings to read through it, but I think I learned more about camaros reading This Progress Thread than anywhere else. I thought I did a fairly thorough job, but not even close. I will go back through and fine tune later. I really want it driving this year.
