PVC Floor Mats for your truck - a different approach!

- I wanted some noise and heat insulation inside the cab and a practical and durable floor covering. In the spirit of the budget rat truck build, I use some materials I found in my shed - roof membrane and PVC Floor tiles!

Again DIV great work
That’s a great idea 👍
Thanks
@@ratrodsafrica I got a box of it I was wondering what I was gonna do with it
That floor turned out awesome.
Excellent idea looks great to
Thanks!
Looking good brother
Brilliant!!!!!
Ek love die channel, die build draai moer nice uit.
Dankie broer!
When you start these projects I have my doubts it will work... Always impressed with the results by the end. Very creative, great job Div.
Awesome, thank you!
''They can be best friends.'' What an interesting way out expressing compatibility. At a similar age as you, I too walk about my shop looking for non-typical materials that fit my needs. At only some 9000 miles between us, I would be more that happy to stop over to discuss your possible alternatives.
What's a few 1000 miles between mates? I'll keep the beers cold 😆
Great looking way to finish it up….
Thanks 👍
I learned to drive on "Grandpa's" (Uncle Louie's) '53 Chevy longbed. I really like these videos, thank you!
It looks great div
Thanks David!
right on bud, well done!
Thank you!
That came out great
More great work!
VERY COOL DUDE, YEEBO
Thanks!
Yes, watching this video, forth time, I love it , that how I going to be do my rat rods, my old coup it's a 1938, and my truck is in the 40's.
Will be happy if it helps you!
Once again you did a fabulous job on the floor! I think it looks great!👍🏻
Fantastic idea Boet, the amount of times I burnt my toes with those roofing torches, brings back memories.
You are not the only one who has burnt his toes boet!😆
Mr. Bush-Engineer, this is a pretty good idea and it's execution. Respect & appreciation 👏 I like guys who work for "functioning" and not for any degenerated "gimmicks"...And thanks for showing & Greetings from Austria 👍
Great work... very creative... excelent!!
Thank you! 👍
Awesome work I like it a lot
Good man respect!! 👍👍🤙
Looking good man.
Awesome work work😜
I love it. That would go great in about any truck.
Great work 👍👍🤜🤛
I want to do this to my miata! what a great idea
Looks great
Awesome job man
Thanks for the idea, I’ve got some of that to use in the trunk of my 35 Ford coupe. Have a great one.
Awesome!
Thanks!
great thinking div
Still love those seats
Made myself some alu ones for my beetle volksrod
Nice man! Would love to see. Send me a pic please. ratrods4africa@gmail.com
Hello Div, great idea for the floor. Really looking good. Be good and take care my friend. 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Some sand "paint" and patina sauce on holding iron and it would totally look like part of the machine in whole. And for someone who not familiar with the build - that thing looks like salvaged flooring from old bus than home improvement stuff.
Dev , You are so shrewd with your Forrest Engineering ! At the beginning of this video I was a little cynical ; but that did not last very long . Great job !!
"jam to a blanket" 😂 I'm here for the new sayings as well as the content now.
Good job Div 👍👍
😆 Jam to a woolen blanket. Or the cruder version, snot to a woolen blanket!
Absolutely genius. It looks great.
👍so circler
✌
Hey it looks good and easy to do.
Easy, but time consuming😆
@@ratrodsafrica yes that's what you said
I don't know how it's going to be to kill noise, but it looks perfect for a Rat Rod. I Think to help with the sound issue you'll probably need something for the ceiling. Good luck!
Makes a huge difference to road noise.
Lekka Div it's very practical Function before Fashion
Yes sir! Always function first😆
good job bro
Thanks!
Div you are great at impervising adapting and overcome many things why not use workshop tiles for cabin floor
I did use the tiles for the cabin floor. Maybe you mean the load bed?
Genuis!!
What a brilliant idea!! Definitely going to try this as well...
Dear Mr. Div RRFA.
👍👌👏 Very well done again and as always (video and work). This is definitely a great idea. Very durable and really good and tough looking too. I absolutely love to see things being used in different ways respectively in more ways than they are originally made/invented for. You're quite an ingenious guy. Congrats!
Only one thing I wondered about: Why haven't you simply bedded the thick bitumen stuff right into/onto the fresh asphalt paint and used the paint as a sealant and glue?
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and health to all of you.
I tried that, doesn't work well at all
Dear @@ratrodsafrica Div
Thanks for replying and especially for another heart. I always totally appreciate both very much.
2) Okay, thanks for the information.
Sincerely yours.
That looks awesome, great idea Div and a class A job laying it in, I love it
That was a shitload of work but the completed project is amazing. Very well done.
Yes, took way longer than I thought!😅 Thanks!
Great idea. And it looks rugged too. Fits the build.
Thanks 👍
Hi div.I'm going to use that idea on my morris minor split screen .got no carpets in it just bare floors .keep up the great work and thanks.
Please do!
Great job on the floor man! You repurposed stuff from the shop in true rat rod fashion. I really like the metal trim with the tacks showing. Great detail!!!!!! So dude , are we going to get a final cost on this budget build? Maybe an estimate of hours spent? Very interesting , entertaining and educational project !
Thanks Randy. Yes, hoping to post the cost video on Sunday. I never count the hours though...
Turning out really nice. Keep up the great work.
Hey Div, that really turned out good! Every old jeep / truck I've rebuilt, the floors were rusted out because of moisture trapped in the carpet or in the felt padding under the mats. I just spray the " paintable " black undercoating on the floors and leave them bare . I am going to have to do some sound deadening material on my 64 F100. Even with the new door and window seals it's too noisy at 55 mph to talk without shouting. Well, almost shouting!:) Looks great!:)
I know that felt padding is horrible. No chance of trapped moisture now!
I like this idea. May try it on mine. Just the tiles, the torch on roofing seems like it would be really hard to get off if ever needed.
Thanks. Don't see any reason why I would want to take off the membrane again🙂
Would of never thought of doing this for floor covering ,looks great .
Thanks man
It will be interesting to know how well it dampens sound levels. Let us know how it works out Div.
Made a big difference to the sound levels!
I agree with your reasoning about a quieter ride. Nice interior work. It is a definite improvement.
I like it. It's different, and definitely less noisy than a bare metal floor. This is what building cars is about: using fun ideas that work.
Great idea for rat rods and many other vehicle types! Looks dam good! Nice work!
No vacuuming required! Air hose or garden hose😆 Thanks!
Flooring/roofing looks really good! When I was a teen my hot rod had no carpet, AC, Heater all in the name of weight reduction and speed was noisy hot in summer and cold in winter, I think this flooring Idea is very creative!!
Very nice job Div, that floor turned out great. Not only will it be quieter, it'll definitely cut down on the heat coming through the floorboard.
Div, another creative solution! Hopefully this will allow you to dream of more projects as you are quietly cruising to town.
Yes, sometimes one needs a little quiet!😂
Whatever you choose for the truck it is still one of a kind and it looks great. Cheers from Canada !
Thanks Canada!😆
Now that's a proper job Div ! I absolutely respect your ingenuity when it comes to working with what you have, looks great 👍🇺🇸⚜️🔥🔥🔥
Thank you brother!
I use linoleum flooring. It works great. Another day in paradise. ❤️🇺🇸
Nice job , I like things on the cheap also.
Ótimo trabalho meu amigo, parabéns! 👏👏👏
You are a good sign painter, put your name on the doors
Something like Africa Forest Rat Rods!
Excellet... From thought to execution - to Done! Very good Diff. Very much enjoyed as always.
Thank you brother
That's awesome! So hard wearing! Brilliant 👍
I really, really like the shit out of this interior! Pretty clever use of material for sure
Nice job! I like the look, and that you used what you had at hand - "No new money was spent in the doing of this project." The materials should be good for the sound damping you wanted - how did that work out? (Wipe off your shoes before you get in, now!)
Thanks! Made a big difference
Great look! I have the same floor tiles in my converted school bus. Very durable and quiet.
There you go! Great minds think alike!😆
Really like your channel Div!
I lived in South Africa for a short while in the mid seventies when i was 10-11 years old. Never saw anything like this back then!
Keep up the good work, you really inspire.
Best regards from Sweden. 😁
Thank you!
Well done, Div. Looks great, and should work very well. If you had the inclination, you probably could have "torched down" the entirety of the membrane using a heat gun, or even a hair dryer- flameless, and probably hot enough. With that said, the finished floor and your trim should hold everything down nicely, as-is. Curious question: Is "Div" your proper name, a short form, or a nickname? I'm glad you spelled it out- I had thought you were saying "Duff". South African accents are quite different to us Canadian folks. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
It's actually a nickname that I've had since childhood. Comes from my surname, which is "de Villiers"
How about a work table?
Yoooo!! Boet, what creative ingenuity you pulled out the hat with this idea. Turned out awesome!!! Like you said its very practical and looks alot better!!! you can hose it out if you needed too!! Enjoyed the video!!!
I like practical. I dont like cleaning 😂
It turned out great and for free. Can't go wrong there 👍👍
Brilliant idea man!! High durability low/no cost is a win/win!! looks great too, so thats a bonus!!
I thought you were gunna lay that black rubber down while the asphalt paint was wet… wouldn’t that sticky paint have acted as a glue? Or is that a dumb idea for something I’m not thinking of?
I experimented with that, didn't work very well...
Your always impressing me with you forest ingenuity. Making something work that was meant for something else.
How much did it help with the sound?
Do you plan adding any heat in that rod?
Can’t wait to see the rest of the cool add-ons.
👍🏻👍🏻!!!!
Made a massive difference with the sound. No, I'll just wear a sweater. Or 2. And a scarf. And gloves and a beanie😆. Seriously though, it doesnt get that cold where I live.
Now that is great...Had my doubts. Came out cool. Extremely strong stuff that...Well done Div, very innovative. Thank you again for sharing.
Mud flaps I find on the side of the road
Good Morning. I'm your fan from Brazil my age 64 years old. I'm renovating a 62 year Chevrolet Brasil pick up. if you use french screw the work is beautiful.
DIV .... use some GUN BLUING on the metal .. it will turn it dark to help match the floor and also help protect the metal from rust..
I really like your ideas and your work. I bet that will quiet that rat rod down inside. Let us know. 👍
Yes, made a big difference to the road noise
Hey Div. Good video. That is a great idea for the floor covering. Yea, use what you have laying around. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍
What about back wall
I did glue some membrane onto back wall as well. No PVC tile though.
Practical, cheap and looks good, doesn't get much better than that. Thanks Div.
Like that floor...definitely in keeping with the overall scheme of the build.
This floor covering idea turned out great! A very good idea for sure!
Glad you like it!
looking amazing 👏 that pvc 💡 💡 idea was a good one
Thank you! Cheers!
Have a lukka one little buddy
I absolutely love this idea
Cool, happy to hear that!
8000 miles from my house it looks pretty damn good Thanks for the videos always good time
That paint looks like it would be good to undercoat ever thing .The floor came out jam up .
hey Div, How you doin bro, had an idea you might like today, if you got a fuel tank in the bed you could hide it with a stack of old suitcases with the back cut away to hide your hardware
It just keeps on getting better GREAT BUILD
Thank you!
Hey your voice sounds Amish I do ham radios and cb radios so talk around world but your rat rod is cool I'm in Florida so auto parts are high but got work on my s10 blazer
