[QUOTE="Jeff Johnson, post: 425776, member: 21634"] Finished stripping all the paint inside and out.Put it in the garage and flipped it over after I filled it with water to check for leaks. So I have a question. I think these were caused by someone using screws or nails on a previous repair and they were metal and laid in the floor inside and caused the metal to rust. I didn't get any pictures of the inside rust pockets but you can tell it was a screw or nail. I even found a piece that looked like part of a metal rivet. What is the best way to repair these leaks? JB Weld is what I have seen most people use. I have heard some guys drilling holes and putting open end rivets back in with 5200. I think the JB would work best with all the little holes.
