It's a lucky situation that that floor was not more rotted. Not so many are lucky in that way but this car rust was caught in time. If/when the situation demands and it gives out, the floor can down the road be replaced. Part of the craft is judging and knowing when the damage needs more or less work and labor.

I've always liked using 2 or 3 layers of mat. The bottom layer being the largest then smaller patches over the problem area. So only the problem areas will have 2 or 3 layers depending on the size of the hole. Those were tiny holes so 1 layer would seal it up.

I've seen videos where people are fixing cars and run into rust repaired by fiberglass,and they say oh look at this shit,well for starters the car was left in the woods and would of rusted any metal floor anyways,and second that fiberglass repair was done over 30 yrs ago.But weather rusted the metal around the fiberglass,That repair today will last over. 30 yrs unless he parks it in the woods for decades.

This is a very viable repair,I know this because I pulled a 65 Impala out of a North Carolina junk yard back in 1982. All floors were damaged in the same manner. Back then nobody made anything for 1965 Impalas.A good donor was a dream but not a reality. I fiberglassed all the rusted metal. Still own the car the floors are still solid all these years later. Now with all the repop metal available I'm 68 and have no want to cut the floors out of my old girl to "do it properly" so to speak.Fiberglass works if applied properly.

That repair is going to last for a long time. Living in the Northeast Rust Belt, I would also seal the underside with something - bed liner, undercoating - something so water can't begin to creep in one of those holes. Do that and it will last 50 years Pete, if you do occasional fiberglass stuff; I bought into the West System when I had to repair a boat floor. Their product comes this way - A gallon of resin to a quart of hardener. You buy two hand pumps, one for each can. The pumps are metered, so you do 6 pumps from the gallon can and 6 pumps from the quart can, mix and apply. Leave the pumps right in the cans, so next time you need a little resin, just pump, mix and pour. West System sells slow and fast hardener too for different situations

If the underside has already started to rust heavily, you are in big trouble because nothing will stick to it. Por15, undercoating, nothing as the rust will flake it off. MY fix, thanks to a yTube vid, is to spray mineral oil on the underside. The rust is porus and the oil will spread (weep) into the porus rust and saturate it. The rust changes color from rusty brown to a dark almost grey color and stops the rust progression. sort of like Rustoleum paint. Spray oil on the bolts and threads on the undercarriage and front end and it won't be Rust welded. Get inside the doors, along the bottom pinch fold and about 3" up each side pinch if you can. also along the wheel well opening in the fold inside the fender. They always put a metal reinforcement, sometimes the inner fender lies on top of the fender, oil that too. anywhere you know rust can start. Most spray bottles wont spray Mineral Oil, but you dont have to paint it on, so just use the stream. The oil will weep into the rust. check it the next day and add if you think you need to. Done this for years and the rust just stops.

agree on the process resin is temperamental high heat humidity and cold humidity work different metal absorbs moisture I use a propane torch to push the moisture out first and you change the molecules in the surface you get them jumping more so with epoxy or vynle ester resins to stick to not have an open flame next to these products or you will burn your shop down. now I opted out and used thinned roofing tar in the glass matt because the moisture content in metal in changing seasons works great but you be the judge on your project trust Pete he is a great body man

Always appreciate the knowledge to know I haven’t been always wrong. Picked up a few corrective tips with the bondo & epoxy application. I haven’t had problems yet, but thank you for corrective points.

I used the fiberglass fix on my 86 truck floor, it had larger then pin holes, one you could stick your hand through. I supported the glass at floor level and laid out about 3/16 inch of fiberglass cloth/resin on the entire floor. Has held up for 15 years now and still good. Idid clean an paint the remaining floor panel top and bottom to stabilize the metal. The rust was caused by a inner fender failure, getting a hole from the water drained from the cowel, then the water thrown up by the tire started the rust under the floor. One thing leads to another it seems. yup, new inner fenders. Don't know what you are talking about the fibreglas cloth. I use it all the time, it soaks in the resin easily and it bonds to the surface just like the mat does. True there are different uses for mat vs Cloth but both work very well. The cloth cuts and handles much better than the mat, the mat is messy to cut and handle so use as you need

I did it to my uncles old Australian built Chrysler when I was a kid. Lasted longer than the car . Was in the weather and the resin seals the metal from oxygen. One panel was in the weather and never rusted again. 10 years driven daily and around Australia.

I prefer using epoxy resin instead of polyester. It sticks better. I mix small batches, say 12 oz at a time max. If you mix a big batch it will heat itself up, heat increases setup speed and it will setup in minutes. Not good. Epoxy sticks like crazy. Polyester will works too, but epoxy is better. Epoxy is about $60/gallon. Buy the stuff that mixes in a 1:2 ratio. If you buy the pumps that go in the bottles even easier to get the ratio right.

Egad! Fiberglass is a garbage repair for rust. Nothing is fixed. It is temporary at best. Why do you even go here. Are you recommending this for a car flipper? If so, please stop. No one needs to do repairs behind this improper repair. If this is the only way a person can fix body rust due to lack of knowledge and skill, get a pro to fix it. Bondo, Fiberglass, what's next? Caulking repair panels for permanent fixes?
