Got swiss cheese floors??

Needs a second and third coat but seems to be a good waterproof way to fix without cutting the floor out. I used the fiberglass repair kit from lowes.

I buy the fiber-mat and resin from Wal-mart.... my lower panels on my truck are fixed with it for now.... I like it for quick repairs... it works jout great... nice job Van Halen... looks like the score is 1 for VH and 0 for swiss cheese...

Agree-- very quick and waterproof just getting it ready for carpet.

VH,
Hope you treated that before you fibered it. Otherwise it's only a short term fix and you just created a rust farm... It looks good...

It's a common rust area under that rubber mats

Something I havent figured out is why the passenger side seems to get rustier than the drivers side. All 3 I have seem that way, Might be able to slow down the rust by treating the underside and getting it sealed up well if you didnt get the topside done.

that funny you say that Joe, even my low miles always stored inside 69 had rust in the pass. side

Funny my pass side had more cheese,and yes I put a rust inhibitor.

Ive got a theory seeing as G's spotless 69 has it to.. No direct heat on that side from the fan ? doesn't dry out enough maybe?

Smart man...

I too noticed it. Both mine had more on the pass side as well and even all the parts vans too. I repaired the areas and sprayed (more like flooded) with "Purple Power" (Mild Acid) and then encapsulated them with POR-15. Then used spray undercoating on the underside (basically sprayed the whole area behind the grill). It's solid as a rock now!

But have to admit VH. Your pic's have given my an idea. Since my floors have already been repaired and sealed. A fiberglass layer would really protect it from future water damage...
