444 floorboard and chassis rust repair 444-544 1958

Greetings all,

Anyone out there with experience on repairing/replacing the floorboards and other structural chassis areas on a 444/544?

I recently bought the car and knew going in that it had floorboard issues. This past weekend, I spent a couple hours underneath the car scraping off layers of undercoating (which hid many sins). I found rust in the left front floorboard, which I expected. I also found extensive rust in the chassis underneath the driver's side. The passenger floor, rear floor and trunk all look good.

Before I do anything else on the car, I want to get the rust issue repaired. Past pictures and advice would be appreciated....as would suppliers of the sheet metal required for the repair.

Many thanks,

Wayne
