Default Floor board replacement

I have a 1980 vette that sat for 14 years. the drivers side floor board is shot, does anybody know of a manufacturer of a replacement part?? If not, which would be better, fiberglass repair or fabrication of a new one???

Floorboards are usually around $250 a side. IMO try to repair the rusted sections with galvanized sheet metal pieces. You can cut them yourself and then rivet them together. It would be much cheaper.

76 was the first year for steel floorpans, until then they were fiberglass
