Panel glued, liquid nails and riveted the floor patches in today.
Looks good!
Did you actually use liquid nails or something with better strength properties. Like panel bonding adhesive or similar?
If not, you may want to put in more rivets. Thinking over time, body flexing etc.
Just spitballing here.

The left rear tire on the camo truck lost most of it's tread on friday:

So yesterday I did some swapping with the rusty Suburban. The camo truck got the 36" radials and the Suburban got the 38's to hold it up off the ground for now.

Now I need to save my pennies and hopefully buy a new pair of Interco Cobalts (GroundHawgs) since they finally offer them in a 15" rim now.

I used 3M panel bonding adhesive around the riveted perimeter and used a tube of $12 liquid nails fuse it, almost the entire tube on the inside mating surface and both interior and exterior seams. Hopefully, that’s enough. The drivers side panel was a very tight fit. I considered welding it but figured a lot of extra work for an area that’s not visible.
