Perforated Trunk Floor - Master Series Silver

[KULTULZ]

Yeah, I agree, for long term fix replacing the compromosed metal would be best. Any idea where I might find a good trink floor. It doesn't exactly have to match, as long as it is close. I think any 1955-1962 (or so) full sized Mercury or Ford trunk floor should be fairly close and could be cut, trimmed or otherwise modified to fit?

Guess what else?

If the trunk pan is perforated as shown, the vehicle will draw carbon dioxide ...

... into it going down the road, same as a bad deck lid gasket.

Absent replacing the metal, maybe a couple of layers of fibreglass mat will add some rigidity and fill the holes.
