Re: [VACList] airstream body supported by floor??



Jerry,

The floor is a structural support component of the overall design. If you've
taken out a sizable section, and it seems you have, the real problem is not
just getting new plywood into the channel the old edge fit into, but getting
bolts through the new plywood. You've gone this far, so you might as well do
a frame off restoration. It will be the only way to replace the floor in a
way that restores structural integrity.

Good luck!
