Need new floor pans?!

[rs.autoart]

Hello, so I started stripping the interior of my '76 280z project toady and found that the floor pans on both sides are quite rusty including small holes on both sides. The back seems fine, the rust starts just behind the seats and goes foreward...I haven't gotten through the insulation on the center section yet, though I suspect it is also rusted. Also needs new frame rails. What would be the best/most cost effective way to repair this? How much would new pans be? Can I get used floor pans or make my own, or do they have to be new? (ALSO how do I get the dang steering wheel off?! xD) Thanks for any help!!!

Bad dog! Bad dog!

Okay, so he doesn't have his products online right now...

It's time to go with Mr. Peabody & his boy, Sherman, into the Internet Wayback Machine. There, now you can find what you need by clicking on the Products link. By the way, that last link may be slow to load...

(Yes, my post is more obtuse than usual. I've been working way too much.)

Bad dog is the name you'll hear most for frame rails & floor pans.

Steve, sorry but the name you most often hear regarding frame rails and floor pans is Charlie Osborne as he is the supplier for many of the other vendors. Those are the ones that MSA carries.

Bad Dog may have had some, but an 11 month old archived page isn't the way to go finding parts.

Contact Charlie at his website, here's a direct link to his floors:

See, I knew I've been working too much. Bad Dog is for frame rails. Zedd Findings is for floor pans.
