Don Shillady--Please don't take this as undue criticism, because it is not intended that way at all. You have created a terrible unstable mess by the modifications that you have made to the floor of your roadster. Those fiberglass bodies depend so much on the structural integrity of the floor to keep everything aligned and in place, and you have completely destroyed that by what you have done. The new wooden floor needs to be glassed to the remains of the existing glass floor on both sides,and at the rear. The remains of your tunnel that you have reused needs to be glassed to the new wooden floor, and also to the random peices of aluminum and stainless steel that you now have in there for a firewall.---And the random peices of steel and aluminum need to be glassed to the remains of your fiberglassed firewall. This should be done with at least 3 layers of matt and resin, and should overlap onto all the "new" peices and to the existing floor by at least 4". And the worst of it is, that it should be done on both the inside of the car and on the outside (underneath and on the firewall). You have cobbled together a bunch of peices that will keep your feet of the ground, but will in reality do very little else. I hate to be the bearer of such dreadfull news, and I sincerely hope that some of the other experienced builders like myself will jump in on this thread and verify what I have just told you.---BrianOld guy hot rodder
