[quote="Artistic"]If it's just where the "drains" are, I would just pop the old ones out ( hit them with a screwdriver and hammer and it will turn and come out ), grind away the rust, and cut off what you can. Then cut a template out of cardboard, and trace it to a piece of sheetmetal, check the fit, and weld it in. Give it about a half inch of over lap as well. Paint it from both sides with an anti-rust paint, and Por-15 or equivalent. I believe factory sheet metal is 20 gauge, but use 18 or even 16 if you can. I used 16 when I redid the floors on my chamonix, and it was a real pain to shape and cut, but the thickness of the metal help a lot in carrying the heat when I was welding. This helped prevent blowing though the metal. -Andrew Poon[/quote]
