I had thought about grinding off as much rust as possible around the firewall, using a rust converter on the remaining rust, then fiberglassing the area. I had planned on replacing the floors and rockers completely since new ones are only a few hundred dollars. It would be a lesson in welding and I would probably have to rent one of those giant spot welding jaws.
