Default Damn....rust found

OK guys, finally gutted the interior of my '79 coupe and found that the floor beneath the passenger seat was rusted badly with some thru holes when used the screwdriver test..damn rust! Also, when removed the plastic and chrome trim around the window frame, the pass. side was eaten up badly and is going to be replaced....damned rust!!! First ? does anyone make pre-shaped floor pan replacemnets? And for you Md. and Va. folks, who would you recommend to do this kind of work in our area, top notch stuff only. Thanks. Damned rust.

Another vote for Tony Avedisian...Tony's Corvette Shop in Gaithersburg. Top quality work...top quality people. The words "top quality" and "cheap" usually cannot be used in the same sentence. Chuck
