Interior pan advice please - 3 piece ok?
matt b:
Roo - agree and absolutely would do if I planned to campaign this car - chassis is already prepped / painted (2 times) and going together. Hate to any more time / rework than I have too since plans are to let it go.
Too many projects - door car, this one and my Buddy Warren full bodied FED - and not enough hours in the week.
Dzus tabs already in place on upper side of frame rails / crossmembers, etc. Not notching for the verticals will make it a simple shear, brake and punch job. Give me more time to file rings....&^%$#.
Thanks again!

I too race mostly alone without a crew. In addition to having a floor I'll never build another car without an array of tiny LED lights in the cockpit for night racing, plus a couple of LED headlights, and a HORN. All those things probably weigh less than a pound as I'm using a small motorcycle horn, a single DPDT micro switch (up for interior lighting; momentary down for horn). They sure make racing a lot less stressful.
On my Willys coupe I also have lightweight power windows. Really help to keep the interior temps down on a warm day, plus it makes it easy to stop and get my e.t. slip. Nope, won't ever build a door car without power windows.

On my FED I have a diaper under the motor and belly pan under rear of car that goes to back of transmission but it does not cover the pan. I am thinking of making a small pan to catch tranny fluid if anything ever happens.
