As for the other side, I had a similar rust situation on the lower fender bracket on the d/s as well as that lower rot where salty boots happened.
Here is an interior shot,
Rust is so annoying and time consuming, but now is the time I guess..
Outside shot,
The 3 holes above the rot where the steel is kinked is where the bracket was located on this side, it wasn’t quite as through as the other side but was surely getting there.
Drilled out the spot welds with a standard 5/8” bit I believe, and was able to peel the flange apart easily with a chisel, wanted to slowly move the bad to see all that was still good.. don’t want to remove anymore than I need to.
I will be replacing the firewall flange and lowest part of the actual firewall and then cut and weld a new flange onto the floorboard piece, the floor panel is immaculate besides the rust on that flange section.
