Default Cracked floor pan

Disassembling my 72 big block. Pulled up carpet and discovered floor cracked in passenger foot well. Crack runs from trans tunnel to right sill plate. Repair ideas? Bob

Grind the crack on both sides and lay in some new fiberglass? A light pass on the bottom with resin and mat, then double on the top with the weave of the mat running at 90* between the layers.
