Rear flooring

I had mentioned it prior, but the wood floor in the back looks great.  I had not permanently affixed it into the van yet due to wanting to soundproof the floor.  Well now that is done, did it a last night.

After first prepping the floor with a bit of simple green to clean it, then the three or four spots of rust with the spot blaster, real good clean up with the blow gun, a bit of pre paint cleaner, some epoxy primer and a blast of spraybomb paint, I allowed to cure overnight and then got to work on the sound deadener.  Today will be the permanent affixing of the floor.  Even though it is a tongue and groove 3/4 inch hardwood, I will dab a spot of liquid nails every other board to add some extra strength.  This tied in with the edging strip along the door opening and a 1/4 round moulding around the perimeter, it should be solid, able to withstand some wear and keep it quieter.  More pictures later.
