Re: Previous Owner Funtime

I feel everyone's pain, electrical issues just seem bring out the best of the worst hacks, but bodywork is right there too. On my 51 GMC the PO did some awesome work on the floors. He pop riveted a bunch of sheet metal on the floor pans, left the original battery in the floor under all this crap, and the icing on the cake was to take a large carpet mat and turn it rubber side up and rivet it down for a "factory looking" rubber floor mat. The problem with this the carpet held water on the floors and turned what was most likely a small rust problem at the time into a complete floor replacement.
