That is a great idea. Any water that would get behind the diamond plate would still not be able to get to the wood.
I used a truck tool box to cut out my running boards from and still have a lot of that left. I was thinking about taking my table saw and ripping the bottom and one side I didn't cut into 3" strips and using that along the bottom edge to hold the aluminum sheet in tight. The only thing is I would have a joint behind the fender and trying to seal that was bothering me. By using the flashing first that would solve that.
That is what I like about the forums, great people with lots of ideas.
I finished the lights on mine today and got my affidavit notarized today. Now I am going to put the floor down and call it a cargo trailer so I can get my title and license done. I have to take it to the State Troopers office to get a vin number stamped first.
