Default Floor repair

I don't know of any replacement panels for a C-3 floor. The floor on my 68 was broken in the gas pedal area. Lead Foot Disease
I removed the gas pedal asbly, cleaned up an area larger than the broken area and laid down 2 layers of fiberglass mat and resin.
Floor is rock solid now.

Yeah mine was busted under the gas pedal. I just took a grinder and scuffed / cleaned that area a bit and layed down some resin and mat.

It's as strong as new
