Floor board panels are available from most vendors and are a good fit. Lots of spotwelds to remove, but not a horrible replacement project. You can use a mig or tig to "spotweld" back into place. I would check the inner cowls, inner-to-outer cowls, and rocker panels as these are prone to hidden corrosion. I personally enjoy driving as close to original condition as I can get, but I have upgraded to a 53 engine with full oil pressure, aluminum pistons, hydraulic lifters, open drive shaft, 1973 rearend with highway gears, radial tires, 12 volt conversion. My dream rides would be a completely restored to original, and one sitting on a Chevy Tahoe 4WD drive-train.
