Actually the floor you see in the photo was replaced by a PO for the exact same reason battery damage. Although it was solid the PO did a poor job replacing the floor so I had it redone.The front still sports it's original 1958 floors as does the drivers side.
The new and remaining original pan was completely painted with POR 15 paint as were the fenders and wheel wells.
I have the current battery in a plastic tray along with a battery pad under the tray in case of leakage.
I still pan to install the original battery cover and clamp.
My next batery though will be an Optima which come in 6 volt and can be even layed on there side if necessary.

Thanks for the tip!
