[QUOTE="putback, post: 429067, member: 15012"] Nice hull, love the style. Now that you have a pneumatic buck riveter you can probably find a buck rivet large enough to fill the holes. Take a look a jay-cee sales. www.rivetsinstock.com. Some thing I learned restoring old airstream trailers. With aluminum hulls you can cover some serious blems with a patch and some creativity, looks like its suppose to be there! Your plank floor idea makes some serious sence & looks good. I'm restoring a similar hull and was going to just go carpet. Like your idea much better. Looks good,durable, faster dry, less rot concern & lift out panels. Have a local mill that saws out cedar any way we like. THANKS. [/QUOTE]
