the floor boards are starting to rot out in my 64 due to the way it has been stored before i owned it. i am looking for a quick fix because i do not have the funds to do any major body work right now. any ideas?

Pop rivet sheet metal in over the roted metal out to sound good metal. You can then weld for a LITTLE more strength.

The rot will only continue and make repairs more expensive later. Also, with a unibody car, it weakens the car too.

I think the cheapest floor repairs I have seen was stolen traffic signs screwed to the rusty metal......Do it right and you will save in the long run. You can buy pieces of the floor to weld in place.

Yep- Quickie repairs just make the floor rot faster.
