If the floor is flexing to the point its a problem with hitting the driveshaft you have many other issues . 4 people in a car shouldn't "move" the floor more than 1/16 ..1/8 inch max

What a great build! I recently went thru the driveshaft tunnel pain.... where my 4" alum driveshaft was rubbing under small bumps...... and under a big compression bump would've been BAD. So the rest had to be cut out and fabbed up for better clearance. You have done just about everything else... so you may as well cut that out too before doing carpet etc.
What kind of power are you shooting for? That RXT 1200HD is what I'm running and it will hold up to well over 1000rwhp in our heavy cars.
I missed it.. what gears are you running out back?

Yeah, I've decided to have the tunnel raised, much easier to do now. Plus I'm going back with the reduced height body mounts that RS provides with the chassis, which pretty much will make it a requirement.
This is just a street car that I plan to drive a lot. Maybe 800-900 rwhp max. I went with 3.50 gears and aluminum 3rd member from Currie.

I never considered a brown vehicle before I saw this color on one of these GM/Saab 9X-7’s…seemed like a brown/pewter mix.
