Looks like you move fast !

Red Dawn.... Guess you have to name it Wolverine!!

Not a fan of OSB on the floor. Marine plywood FTW.

Cool bus story.

im all for marine grade plywood but im not trying to break the bank the metal floor is completely sealed and nothing leaks so osb it is

[Rusty]

So, you do know the movie your bus is from, right?

Wolverines were the resistance movement ;)

[99bluebird special]

yes i know the movie

[superdave]

great job, wish I worked that fast!

[99bluebird special]

i started stripping it out 2 days after thanksgiving

[99bluebird special]

i plan on having everything done by end of February so all i have to do come spring is the out side metal work and paint

Impressive progress!

I just bought a bus last week, and I'm ripping up the floor now. What did you fill in the seat bolt holes with? Silicone? putty?

And what kind of sealant did you use on the metal floor?

I've read several blogs where OSB was used as subfloor . . that's my plan.

Thanks for suggestions.

Bluebird specified 5/8 Plywood originally on my bus build sheet.

I was relieved to find only metal under the rubber on mine!

Mine had plywood to but I wasn't paying that much for plywood 5/8 osb worked just fine. And after I wire wheeled the whole floor I used por15 paint then used thick roofing tar to fill in the seat bolt holes surprising for a mi bus it was in great shape

Hope I don't sound ignorant, but I don't know what you mean by "por15 paint".
