Hey guys - 

Tired of looking at lubricant wear data and checked the list and found very
little action, so I will ask an opinion.

Talked to a body guy today on repairing the floors in the custom.  They are
almost complete with a few small holes, but rusty and weak.  What he
suggested.

Using my angle grinder with a wire brush, take off any loose rust.

Use rust converter (not POR because fiberglass will not stick to it) and
treat the rust.

Spot weld in any repair panels.  First grinding down to clean metal in
welded areas.  I will put reinforcements under the seat rails.

Seal the seams with sealer - 3M.

Lay one to two layers of fiberglass mat (mat conforms better then cloth) to
straighten the floors and cover any small holes.

Turn the body over, take the undercoating off then treat with POR15.

So, does that sound reasonable??

Phil
SEROC!!
