My 78.....I hate rust. My first patch panel.

Well i have been ignoring the problem for quite sometime now but decided to fix it the other day. The heater box has been leaking on the firewall and getting inside the cab on the floor board since i have probably owned the truck. I pulled the Floor mat back and to no surprise found rust! UGGGGG! I started to grind away and found that it was more than surface rustWith the some help from my husband i began surgery on my truck I cut out the spot in the truck and formed a new piece of metal to replace it with.Then i tried my hand at welding. It doesn't look pretty but with the help of the grinder it made my welds look a whole lot better. Thank god it is under the floor mat I finished it by painting it up. Now on to the other side! Not bad for a girl. LOL
