Hi Chris,
A buddy of mine works in a sheet metal shop and he roughed out the floor pieces for me. I'm going to use the templates to get the final shape.

Hey 2Loose!
I've been wanting to thank you for all the time you've spent documenting your build. You, Mac and alot of other guys have been selfless sharing your information and it's made it alot easier (and less intimitading) to get on with my project.

Thanks again guys!

I put one in my 56 when I was at the stage you are at. Several companies make kits for it, very reasonable. I ended up getting mine from Chris Alston's Chassisworks in Sacramento. I got the 8 point kit, but only installed the 6 point configuration. The main reason is, I'm to old to crawl over a shoulder/side bar to get in and out.( Heh heh) The kits come pre-bent and notched, making installation fairly easy. Expect to pay around 300. Good luck with it al
