And now time for the floor. I used 16 gauge steel for the floor which made shaping and bending a bit harder, but it helped keep everything very stiff and prevented the oil canning effect. That was also the reason for the flat bar spanning the open areas. Since I didn't have a bead roller I figured i would stick with the flat bar theme and use that to help keep the floor stiff. Worked out pretty well and the flat bar across the bottom also gives me a great spot for mounting seats and exhaust hangers.



If you know Morrison frames, you know that they build them to go from bumper to bumper. This is ideal if you are welding the body to the frame because it gives a great place to mount bumper brackets and such. Since my frame is removable, i needed to shorted the back end so that the body could be lifted off the frame directly upwards. you can see that it is short enough now to clear the bottom of the tail pan. I will just build custom bumper brackets that extend from the frame to the bumper, no big deal.



Floor installation....







This is a curved transition to fill the void between the floor and the wheel tub. Easy to make on paper, but harder to form on metal!
