This is what I used as sound deadener in my bus. I know some people will say that it is undercoating and will off gas when it gets hot..Blah,blah,blah.To be honest It has been hotter then heck in the bus since I put this stuff in there and once it fully dried it has never turned runny or off gassed at all. I think this will really help save the floor also from rusting out.
Here you can see what started out as a few small rust holes behind the rear seat/bed turned into a major rust problem once I dug into it. I ended up welding some metal from another bus I had in to take care of the rust holes. This is a bad rust spot in Bays.All the crap flies up there and just rots it away.If you can check this spot I'd do it before you buy it.
Here is the dogleg all welded in. I also put the door back on to check the gaps and they were great so I'm really happy with it.I still have to fix the floor by the step and where it comes down off the wheel tub. I'm not sure what I'm going to do there yet but hopefully the coming spring it'll get done.

Here you can see I did some patching on the Passenger's dogleg.I do have a new one but I didn't feel this one needed replaced yet so I just fixed the hole with some fiberglass and putty and left it at that. When it gets to bad I'll put the new one on.I did some stripping and priming in the next 2 pics but I don't know why I wasted my time doing it. You'll see why later.
This bus had no windows in it so I pulled the ones out of my other bus which is now my parts bus and put them into the Westy.I had to do some work to the Passenger rear window frame so it was the last one to go in.I used the old seals at the time cause I'm replacing them all anyways. The Driver's rear one went in like butter with the tool in the last pic. I borrowed it from work and have not been able to find one anywhere. If you ever find one and have a vehicle with the rubber window seals buy it.You won't be sorry.
