Actually, $7500 is what I told him!

Im sitting here in Cherry Creek Presbyterian reading pig posts. Pigs are not helping me get to the "Good Place"!
 
hahaha BE GOOD, NOW...

All loaded up and off to the welder for floor installation. It's unsafe to drive-one bad bounce and I'm afraid I'd end up with a drive shaft enema!

Ironically, as I was driving to the welder, a neighbor with a pig for sale texted me that he saw mine on a flatbed and asked if I sold it. I told him no then he asked me how much I would want for it. I threw out a ridiculous number that I knew he would scoff at. He says "SWEET!" and says he'll get back with me!

Note: it's not really for sale. I mean, not REALLY, but...

Crazy!!!
 
This is what was supporting me as I bounced around in Ol Roy. Odd that the entire floor could be so rusted, yet the rest of the body (fenders, quarter panels, roof) could be so rust free...

WOW
that shop doesn't waste any time!

So sound proofing now?

Yes, but not sure which direction to go in. Looking into LizardSkin, but with no place to apply it, that could get pricey. I know lots of people use Dynamat, but I have it in my head that it can promote rust (or at least hold in moisture).
After what I spent on the floors and welding, I don't want to revisit this issue again.

The entire floor pan to the cargo area was toast. My pig just became that Land Cruiser you can't drive in the snow. And with Denver using magnesium chloride, it will only exacerbate any potential oxidation issues...

Looks like BobM's panels. Did a good job.

Indeed, those ARE Bob's panels.

The welders got off to a shaky start claiming the panels were too short. I knew that was imposdible & Bob offered to explain the same, but they figured it out in short order. I haven't seen it in person (I'm travelling for work), but pics look good.
 
An added benefit, hopefully, will be the absence of rodent urine odor!!

You just described my Pig @Boss Hog !!!

No I didn't, cause I wouldn't drive your pig in any circumstances! I'd enclose it in glass someplace and charge people to look at it. Saw you on 36 weeks ago going the opposite direction, in the fast lane! Serious 3FE jealousy over here...

That's always a plus. If you find a buddy with a compressor, you can spray the Lizard Skin in a day, couple coats.

How long to dry? How much difference in heat and sound did it make? I'll reread your build for more details...
 
Drying time depends on the weather. 45min. sounds about right between coats. Mine is super quite and no heat, but I went WAY over board with stuff. Mine's coated on the bottom and top of the floor. I think it's well worth the cost and hassle to do something now while you have apart.
 
Two steps forward, one step back...

So I got in last night from Texas & am on a flight to Detroit today. While away, my new weatherstrip, NOS hood latch, and a proper throttle cable were all waiting on me!!

As I sit on my flight, I get news that the welder nicked my fuel line and I need a new one. Is this something NAPA could make?
