FALSE FLOOR AND HEAT SHIELD IN PLACE


The floor pan and heat shields fit like a glove.  We used the new floor pan as a pattern for the heat shields.













The shields are adhesive backed and are a bit aggravating to install, but as you can see in the photo to the left,  they fit perfectly.  The large washers visible in the photo are used as thickness spacers for the seat mounts.  The thickness of the washers is the same as the thickness of two layers of the heat shield.









After the heat shields were installed, the false floor was attached.  It is held in place with spot welds and panel bond (a high tech adhesive).














We should be applying sealer and finish paint to the chassis next week.

Excited,
Tom McCurry
