I was on the fence about repairing floor or replacing, so glad i cut it out and replaced.
It is an omix ada panel and actually fit very well, minor adjustments.

It looks like you may be at the point i was at with my 81 restoration. I could have bought a new tub just as cheap as fixing my old one with a lot less labor.

Finished up my frame repair today, had some rot around the rear hangers. I made some 1/4 inch plates with a piece if 1 1/2 flat stock welded to bottom of frame, mocked it up and welded them together before installing on frame.

I also installed 2 1/2 spring hangers on the front because I am using YJ springs with a 4 inch lift.
