Thread: Does this qualify as a Hot Rod?

Welded up the trunk floor framing from more scrap square tubing. The trunk opening is to small to allow a single floor piece, so I made three sections. Painted the tank with zinc coating from Eastwood.

Looks good covered, but the hardboard concerns me. It'll need to be protected from moisture. So, I might use these panels as patterns for fiberglass replacements. Undecided.

Another thing you can do it simply liberally coat both sides with fiberglass resin, making them your fiberglass panels. They'll be strong enough and moisture proof, too. Drill your mounting holes a bit oversize, resin them too, then screw them down with some small washers. Just a thought.....
