    haven't heard of any other cars the boards can be salvaged from. go get a mig and some sheet metal and make your own. thats what i've got to do.

    Try Mustang

    I'll be fixing my rear floors with Mustang floors pans in the rear. Not sure what happened but both floors rotted at the seam. Obviously the ribbing doesn't match but the size and shape is close enough to be able to fit with some massaging. If the area is small enough just patch it. I have to small holes in the front and I figure a patch will do. Dan

    You could cut some floorpans out of a rustfree car if you are
    in the southern or dry regions of the USA. Using sheetmetal
    and welding in with a mig is what I have done many many times. Just be sure you dont use galvanized sheetmetal and be sure to
    use a gauge of at least 18 gauge or better if you can find.

    Is that because it's hard to weld or something else I don't know about?

    The fumes created from welding on galvanized metal are what you want to avoid. Not good for you!
