Buddy of mine suggests just leaving the rusted parts and laying the new pans over the top but I dont really agree with that. My plan was to cut out the rusty sections then lay the pans over and glue n screw. Any arguments for or against are welcome I wanna hear opinions. Por-15 will be applied under the cab after all is said and done
To me it all comes down to one simple question:

Do you want it done right, or do you want it done right now?

It's your truck, and only you can make that decision.

Current pictures of my driver's side floor patch.
My floor mat rubbed through the Rust-Oleum paint.
I need to repaint that with POR15 for the durability.
The underside of the panels are holding up fine.
