    My whole floor is rusted on my 75 comet. front driver and passenger are both very bad, i'm worried that after to much driving it's all gonna fall through. any ideas on how to repair this? sheet metal and fiberglass maybe, but i'm not sure if it's gonna hold.

    Hi,
    I first would find the cause...that repair should be done first.

    check the cowls for leaking.....(search cowl repair)
    base of windshield/gasket.
    also check for any structural damange...under the floorpans...(frame rails...torque boxes)
    keep us posted of what you find...

    ...Good Luck...Frank

    Early mustang (65/66) floors work good, some trimming and fitting but they are cheap and look good when done.....

    I would say the cause is too many winter's in Minnesota.

    :D

    Definitly check out the torque boxes and rear frame rails first.
