I am beginning to repair my floor and am looking for a material and some input. As you can see I have taken the cover over the gas tank out and am gonna replace the wood that has gotten a little soft in one spot (there is a metal cover that goes over it too) and I am wondering if I should use a piece of Hardwood or will a piece of 3/4 inch plywood suffice with some sort of water repelent treatment on it be OK? This was nasty oil, grease, grim, fish blood I am sure, water and dirt muck! I also am looking for some of this styrofaom that is under the wood and is crushed and nasty.

Next is the material where can I buy some locally and I want to replace just the back half from the rear seat mounts to the back (the rest is a whole lot more work and it's in very good shape after I scrub it up with soap ) I want to cut it back at the seat mounts and then place a new peice down but don't want the seam where they come together to get torn or have water seap in. So I thought about sealing it with some sort of "marine glue" and then put a metal strip over it sort of like the ones you see in the pic that hold it up to the sides.

Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
BOY IT'S NICE TO HAVE A GARAGE TO DO THIS STUFF IN AFTER 13 YEARS :shock:
