Re: The blazer, keeping it, beginning to restore, need some help.
The problem is the design of the floor boards, it has a flange that acts like a dam. So, any water that leaks, including snow melt from your boots, will sit at the conjunction of the rocker panel, floorboard area.
Rugs help to rust this area out, since they act as sandpaper with any dirt underneath, and moisture retension. If you dont have paint or undercoating on the floorboards, it will rust. Now, it could rust from the inside out, since the torsion box, under the floorboard, is not protected at all from the factory....
If you replace the rocker panel, pay attention to the torsion box while your inside, put something in there as a sealant, if your lucky enough to have any metal left.
Good luck!
