I recently started on my project that I have had for a long time, now that I have the space to work on it. It's going to be a budget build and just a fun driver. I was wondering if patching the floors with aluminum would work. I have access to damaged street signs that are nice aluminum panels but was wondering about the reaction between the aluminum and steel floor. Could I put a coating of some sort between the two? Thanks for any advice.
It was done that way years ago (old license plates), no reason you can't do it that way now. Sheet metal screws were used to hold them down with roofing cement to seal them up......
waste of time. No good way to attach Al to steel.
Had good lasting results on work trucks over the years with fiberglass cloth and POR 15, resin won't stick but POR 15 sure does and is bulletproof. Tom.

That's a good idea. Don't know why I didn't think of roofing sealer.

I have heard good things about POR 15. I was thinking about using it on my frame.
