1951 olds 98 convertible floor pans

Hey Everyone,
I have a 51 olds 98 convertible, and the floors are gone. I am trying to figure out what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions.. Attached are pictures.

That's quite a bit of rust!

I hope the you're a good body man. You'll never find aftermarket floor pans for a 51 Oldsmobile, you'll have to fabricate your own. That being said it might be worthwhile to find a 50s Oldsmobile as a parts car. At least it would be a starting point.

Good luck.👍

Just my opinion, is to build a hot rod, or custom out of it. Or just ignore building a perfectly stock looking floor. Some 1 x 2 16 ga. tubing, a bead roller, metal brake, and sheet metal will get you a structurally sound, but not stock appearing floor pan.

The parts car idea sounds good to me too.
The floor pans are pretty much the same, no matter which body style.
Two door 98's are probably closest.
Try to get something from the dry south or west.
Hope you're good at welding sheet metal.

And then there are these;

Get the ones that say they also fit Buick and Caddy.
The ones that say they also fit Chevy may not work for you.
