    Today I built a floor for the trunk from .032" aluminum. The first section spans from the front of the opening to the rear. With some careful layout and bending, it went pretty smoothly. The side pieces were a different story... I used poster board to make a pattern, transferred the shape to the aluminum, and cut it out. After a lot of trial and error, cut and try, and considerable "cussing", I got them to fit. The "bubble" at the lower left is clearance for the fuel cell vent underneath. I installed everything with screws so it's removable in case the fuel cell ever has to be removed. There is enough room in there to carry a small tool bag, a tire plug kit, a tire pump, and maybe a couple of jackets or rain coats. As usual, pics uploaded out of order...
