hAVE A FEW RUSTED SPOTS IN THE FLOOR PAN.
I ordered pre stamped floor pans from year one. Question is do I need to remove the entire old floor pan or just cut out the bad and overlay the older good pan with the new. Or do I need to cut out the whole freakin thing. Can I glue it in if so with what. Maybe need a step by step on this one I don't wanna screw it up.

Also do you know of anyone who makes pre stamped kicker panels for the camero's?

If you are in the process of restoring the car then you would have to cut the old out anf put in the new. If you are doing it to just cover it so you have new floors then you can just cut out the rusted parts, spray with rust treatment then put the new ones down. you can screw them in, better than that use rivets. They hold better than screws. If you have access to a welder then tack weld the pans in place. Make sure you seal then once you have them in place.
