Default Just sandblasted. Do I need to replace pans

Hi guys I just sandblasted my 67 coupe and found some rust. The areas that are in question are mostly 4-6 inches at most. The rest of the pan seems solid. Would you replace the pans or patch them. thanks again guys

If it was me I would replace. With the amount of cancer that you have it would probably be easier to replace.

Yeah, replace them. The pans don't cost much. And it cheaper to replace pans instead legs/butt, when they go flying through the floor.

The looks like Frost Turquoise. Same color as my coupe. Ugh.

Yeah, in the end it's cheaper & easier & better to replace the bad metal.

With the benifit of cheap good quality replacements (that Mustangs ENJOY!),
It will just be easier and more practical to replace than repair....

IMO anyway
