Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Then we did the lay out on the floor to determine where holes were needed for the rosette welding. Spacing them three inches apart created the need for about 104 holes. The circa 1900 vintage industrial drill press came through and in a little over an hour it was done.
Pretty happy all the holes look to be in the right place. One item I overlooked though was the spacing between the cross channel surface the top of the original floor. Going to need to cover over the channels with 16 gauge making them a box, then the floor will fit very flat with little to no natural gap.
If I would have thought it through, I would have done like Youngrodder and had a 90 degree up flange at the back. Then would have removed all the remaining floor at the back. This approach will still work though.
Great day in the shop with my Wife! Happy Independence Day!
