Re: Small holes in floor and trunk

[Schuyler Wrobel <sky62@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 this might seem to extreme for your job, but I had a good size hole  
rusted through the floor from a leaking heater valve in my car. i  
used a piece of sheet aluminum (street sign), bent an angle in it  
same as the floor, applied lots of roofing tar to the area, and  
smooshed the aluminum piece in place.  worked good for me.
