there’s something to be said for momentum, something like “if you keep pushing at just the right time…” at least get half the new floor installed.

nothing bolted down, still nudging and budging (technical term for “bigger hammer”) but within 1/4″ all around.

still need to deal with the wheel covers, they are galvanized steel, and completely corroded away at the sides.  another reason not to bolt down yet, i’ll slide some new steel under and then bend and rivet to the original.

second sheet in,

and third sheet (of six) in.

not sure what, if anything, i’ll cover it with, for right now it starts to feel like a workshop.  can you see it yet?
