Update: 34 Dodge floors

I been plugging away on the floors for my 34 Dodge coupe. Thought I would give an update. Last I posted I was trying to bend a trans tunnel by hand out of 16 gauge steel. After messing with that for a few hours I decided that it would not come out like I wanted it to. I found a guy locally that said he thought he could do(with thinner steel) what I wanted, with the tools in his garage. Turns out he had most of the tools you would find in a sheet metal shop. I gave him the trans tunnel template, and a piece of steel to play with and see what he could do. He called me the next day and wanted me to come by and take a look. I went to his house and there was my tunnel looking even better than I expected. I gave him the rest of my templates that day, and a couple days later he had all six pieces done. I spent this weekend installing the floor. Here are some pics.

Wow!!! That looks great!!

looks good ! what gage did you go with ? 18?

Thanks Guys! I'm happy with the way it came out. I actually used 16 gauge for the main flooring where I sit and my legs and feet rest. 18 gauge for the rest of the non tunnel flooring and 22 gauge for the actual tunnel. I had brought the fabricator a piece of 22 gauge just to play with, but when he was done I felt it was going to be just fine with the thin stuff. It is actually quite sturdy.

That looks great Arno Ron...

Damn that is nice work! Got any more pics of the rest of the car?

Thanks! There is another post called 34 Plymouth coupe project that I posted with more pictures. This was before I found out it was actually a Dodge. It is three or four pages back.
