structural epoxy

I had my truck sand blasted and it really left a lot of holes, some in the floor that were pretty ugly. I know the best way to solve this would be to spend countless hours welding in a new floor, or filling each one with new metal, to rust away at some point in the future.

So instead of spending all that time, I filled the holes with structural epoxy, the sort sold at home depot in the brackets. I use this stuff in construction where it is preferred over a concrete 'wet set' of anchor bolts. Here's the specs: http://www.simpsonanchors.com/catalo...txp/index.html

I think this is how the new Boeing 787 is being built by the way.

Has anyone here ever tried this? What does the forum think? Considering this is an S10 build, I think it serves the budget minded philosophy of the project. Once it cures, I'll update.
