I'm fixing up my '79 TA & have to finish the floors & interior. What tool should I use to cut out the rusty part of the floor? I've got a large compressor & air chisel, but should I get a die grinder or shears of some sort? I don't have too much to cut, but I want to do whatever's easiest.
I would use either a metal blade in a sawz-all, or a sheetmetal shear bit in a air hammer/air chissel.
The problem with Die Grinders with cut off wheels is, sparks. A shower of sparks can set any remaining jute padding on fire. The sparks contane hot metal and disk castoff can ruin your windshield as well.

Thanks. I'll see about the shears. They seem like they'd be pretty smooth to operate.

Aye, I'd say reciprocating saw is probably the way to go too. Shears or snips are decent depending on how heavy the flooring is. But the saw will likely provide you the best leverage.
