As I was cleaning my floor pan in preperation for priming and painting it, one of the floor pan plugs came out. The sealer around it was not hanging on by much and just seperated from the pan.

My question is, once I remove all the old stuff, what is this sealer and where can I get some more to seal it before painting the pan?

Windshield urethane would work, Matt. Maybe check the others, the factory sealer may have let go from age.
You'll probably put so much paint on there that the paint will hold them in place, too! ;)

Other than doing a restoration - why couldn't they be welded in?

In the off chance that your five year old (or maybe ex-wife) decides to make a fishtank out of your Chevelle, it's easier to drain it than pump it out. :D

your local paint store should sell small tubes of body seam sealer. they are about the size of a toothpaste squeeze tube...but dont taste as good!

I agree with the seam sealer. That is what probably should be used.

Auto body sealer is what was originally used. You should be able to get the 3M version in any good auto parts store. It's counter intuitive but when you put them back in, the raised portion of the plug goes up.

I learned something new today :thumbsup:

My car has repro floors in it when I bought it, the floor without the plugs cut out.
