Thanks. They are simple but look much better than the log ones. They are also flat so there is room to add some lower bars on the roll bar I have as well.

I continued not he rear seat closeout today. I decided to grab some 1/2 sq tube and build up a structure to lay the ABS on. The whole structure will be bolt in in cans I need to access something. I'm pretty happy with the results so far. I wish the metal supply house was open today because buying steel at Home Depot is such a rip off For now the ABS will be flat panels using 1/4" cap screws with washers to add a little flare. If I decide to do the side exhaust the panels will stay flat. If I decide to exit the exhaust out the back I'm thinking the battery can go in the rear section and I can build out 2 storage compartments in the front.

at least that... :)

Still not sure on the side exit, cutting out the floor and getting back together cleanly is my issue. If I don't do the side exhaust I'm thinking to raise the floor ~2" with a flat piece of steel (thinking 18 or 16 ga) for both muffler clearance under the car and also a clean place to mount the battery

You think even the 16ga will flex/warp? I was thinking it was thick enough to not have an issue for the ~12"x12" piece that would go in the floors.

No 16 would be fine --- I thought you were cutting out more of the floor than that.

On my buddies '55 that I built -- I simply pie sliced his rear floor foot well --- and moved it up an 1" and welded it back together... gave me enough room and some clearance for his mufflers.

I had UPS tracking information by ~3PM the same day. If all goes well with the shipping I should have them back on Friday. I have to say the service from Travis was awesome.

I can't wait to get them back up have a lot of stuff left to do. It's going to be a busy weekend.....

Steve,

Wheels, tires & stance look great! Thank you for choosing F43 wheels, enjoy!

:thankyou:
