My Mach 1 sat for 37 years until this year and I got it out and going again.I know it is late now but the reason the passenger side floor rusted is usually due to a cowl vent leak. Be sure and check that from the inside. If you are not doing concourse you can repair with some epoxy and fiberglass mat and not cut the cowl out. Once the car is back together I always say to never wash these cars with running water, car wash or pressure washer. You just feed the rust inside the doors, quarters, cowl. No need to use running water unless you been playing in the mud. Another note to help others. You should have had the door on when doing the quarter. The body lines usually do not match up on the repo panels. When you get your door back on might not align with the top of the quarter and the body line. If it is your driver it will be good for that I am sure. One thing I find is that if you do the worst job first and get that out of the way it will pick up speed toward the end. Great to see you doing your own work only way you learn is to do it.</blockquote>
