73 Duster floor replacement questions

[69RRGTX]

I finally bit the bullet and ordered the full main floor pan for my 73 Duster which will be here early next week!!!! As I work to remove the rotted out section I have found my first main issue. I did not know that the main floor pan overlapped the mid floor pan (the one under the rear seat) creating a dead space. That area under my rear seat is nice and solid so I did not plan on replacing it, but the forward part of it that is under the main floor is gone. I really don't want to buy that central floor pan from AMD just to use the first 8 - 10 inches of it, and I don't think it make sense to cut that whole panel out for no good reason. Anyone else here have a similar issue?? Any ideas??

Thanks in advance, Mark

Use some 16ga or so sheet metal stock and trim up a piece.
