Re: Small holes in floor and trunk

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I went to the POR site and they showed this stuff. It is described as 
thick putty-like version of the paint.  I believe I will use this on the 
bottom side of the floors and coat the topside with a couple layers of 
fibergklass cloth matt soaked in the POR-15  paint.  I don't have the talent 
or the time to weld in all new metal as it really isn't all that bad.....I 
took the intire heater assembly out of the 64 Dodge as it will not be a cold 
weather car. Some time when I am richer and not quite so famous, I will put 
in a heater-A/C combo. Today, I pushed the car baxk into the garage---Thes 
nice days cannot last..........................MO
