 |  Since you all liked my floor. I Thought I would do a little write up on my floorboards. Here's the original. You need to trim a little. This was as far as I was going to go. Then trim a little more just to even out the edges.  I don't have any pics of the floor going together. But here,s a couple to get the idea. Then seat mounts that mimic the originals loosely.  Stock seat mounts cut up and modified for PRP's and Aluminum diamond plate tunnel for bling.

| Re: Floorboards Thanks again. Time wise it wasn't to bad 1 weekend to cut it apart. One to put it back together, and a third to take care of seat mounts, tunnel cover and finish off loose ends. The angles and pieces aren't to bad if you just do it 1 piece at a time. Start with the main floor. Then the foot boards. Third the tunnel, starting front to back. Mine could have been a lot smaller. I made it big in case I do a doubler later on. Last fill in up to the back. Before you start cutting romove all the insulation from the firewall behind the dash. Ask me how I know this?

| Re: Floorboards  It would have been a lot easier to pull it out before it was burning.

| Re: Floorboards I'm always freaked out about starting that insulation on fire. My fondest fire memory comes from the first time I ever installed headers. I didn't ensure the battery lead to the starter was clear of the headers. Made for a nice electrical fire once the insulation was melted through. Luckily I thought to disconnect the battery before dousing the motor with a fire extinguisher. Guess the Navy firefighting training paid off that time. | |||||||||||
