[QUOTE="Kriseffinger, post: 301071, member: 9611"] I picked up the aluminum angle yesterday to start fabricating my floor. I went with 1/8 inch, 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 angle; I went with the 1 1/2 because I liked having the extra material to work with when riveting the framework together and when attaching the angle to the ribs with L brackets. I did have to notch out the 8ft pieces over the ribs so I could get the floor as low as possible when the frame is complete. Hopefully tonight I can cut the cross pieces and rivet the frame together. I am planning on making my own L brackets out of 1/16 inch, 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 flat aluminum, I have access to an aluminum break and that should give me some nice clean brackets to rivet to the ribs.
