C2C makes some generic type replacement panels. They aren't as good as NOS, but they are strong, cheap and will work with a bit of hammer and dolly work. Here is their website:http://c2cfabrication.com/packard/ I used fiberglass on some minor pinholes in my 39, but the 51 was too far gone and had to weld in replacement panels. You can buy a rubberized sealer tape to coat the floors for heat and noise reduction. It is sold at Home Depot or Loews - it will be in the window section, since that's what it is designed for. It is basically an older version of the stuff they sell for floor underliners on cars. Just much cheaper and easier to get. I would recommend against the "seals up a screen door" stuff. It is very viscous and melts like snow if gas or oil gets on it.
