do you know how to weld? if not then take it somewhere. you'll probably have to cut out the rust spot and weld in a patch panel, depending on how bad the rust is and amount of rust.

Or just use POR-15 and be done with it.

You can POR over smaller holes or use their fiberglass type patch and POR over that. I have several quarter size holes in the floor board I'm going to use it on.
No doubt cutting and welding is the right way to do it,,, if your restoring it to factory.
