rust!!

[StangCrazy302Gt]

ok i was doing some preventive maintance on the car. ( sanding and priming some trouble spots) to hold me off a year or two untill i can afford to get the car painted.
Low and behold after i took up the hatch carpet and sound deadning stuff , there it was a clear view of my driveway. My issue is i need a new hatch floor now. How much would that cost???
Another thing would be since im getting a new floor, would it be a good idea to put in mini tubs??? i prob will never need to use full size tubs ever. and what would that cost( mini tubs and floor )????? do they use aluminum or something else?? the car will be a street strip car( DD on nice days and weekends )
Last question is im in north jersey and would like to know if anyone knows a shop that deals with doing this type of stuff on a day to day ( i want it done once teh rite way )


thanks in advance

For now, I would just get some 1/8" sheet metal and weld it in there. Mini tubs will be tons and tons of work to install. IF you can't do it yourself, the shop labor will kill your wallet. You have to cut a lot of stuff outta there. There is a thread here, where someone is in the process of doing it. He has a red hatch, that used to be green. He also has a 408 engine, so if somebody knows who I'm talking about....drop this thread starter his name so he can do a search on him, or post the link.
