I had thought about the water-proofed insulation working against me. i hope that's not the care, but it may be a good idea to cut some breathing holes in the insulation... but then, the water would get in... catch 22! the floor has 2 coats of olympic on it on the underside and edges. HOPEFULLY the wheel wells will come back early in the week so i can finish installing the floor, and start on the belly. i'm planning on sealing the crap out of the edges of the belly pan, where it wraps up to the C-channel. there will be plenty of weap holes in the belly pan, so i'm not too worried about moisture retention in that area.
i tell ya, the area i'm MOST worried about, and plan on aggressively addressing is the area of the belly pan between the front frame rails. my frame is really thick "C" beams, and the original belly pan went straignt up on the inside, leaving an open area in the frame rails, direct to the belly pan. as you might imagine, the floor was totaly rotted 12-18 inches back from the nose. that was the worst of the rot, in fact. i'm not certain of the best way to address this yet. learn as ya go!
