Thread: Floor in Don Shillady roadster

Tweet

I just posted this on the other thread:

"I had to do significant bracing on my Brookville steel repro body - including welding most of the originally rivited internal body bracing. I then added 2 rows of 1"x.062 tubing, ran 1x.125 square tubing back to the trunk bracing, replaced the flooboards with a double insulated sandwich panel with .500 square bracing, then added a bunch under the dash. Unfortunately I don't have good digital photos of the underdash bracing but fair photos of the body proper. I did this because the OEM and Brookville bodies ore floppy in their 'native state' There are a couple of more floor braces I could have added and may yet. But it is at least rigid now - very!!!
This may be a way out without extra 'glassing
