Thanks Marc!

I used 16 gauge. Believe most floors are built with 18 gauge though they use beading / ribbing for additional strength.

This one might have been overkill and it feels pretty solid. There is one area of oil canning near the rear I will need to address.

If there is any way I can help you with yours please let me know.

Thanks AD. I used 16g for my front floor section. It's nice unless you need to put a bend in it...

I appreciate your offer. Once I figure out a plan I will let you know.
