Re: '55 International Metal/Body/Paint Work
After the floor braces were in it was time to fit the floor. I made templates of the fenderwells and cut the floor to match.
I left a gap around the edge of the floor, big enough that seam sealer could get between the bed floor and the flanges that were welded to the bedside. That way both pieces would be sealed up from the top.
Marked where all of the braces and flanges were from the bottom side so I could drill plug weld holes.
Plug weld holes drilled and washed with both PPG DX Metal Cleaner and Metal Conditioner to prep the metal for epoxy. I used PPG DPLF
