    Thanx a bunch guys, means a lot!! This damn channeling and having to redesign the whole floor plan and trunk and firewall on such a long car wasn't as easy as i though and i see some light ..... I'm excited to tackle the firewall tomorrow and to have my father in law go off on the inside design and fabrication in a couple weeks!!!:)

    Here's some pics of the floors, not rocket science but i'm pretty stoked on 'em!!

    Beautiful work like this makes me realize what kind of a hack I really am.

    Absolutely incredible!
     
  6. I will be interested in seeing how you transition the trans tunnel up onto the firewall.
    Great work and thanks for the detailed pics. I am going to be doing my floors in the next few weeks and these pics help!:cool:

    Yea, I vote for polishing and then clear-coating the floor. You can use small throw rugs or floor mats to keep peoples' shoes from scratching it up when necessary.

    Damn! Those floors look amazing, Ian! Just the trans tunnel alone is a work of art. You gotta be stoked to have the floors done and be moving on to the firewall! Keep up the incredible work, man!

    Very Nice! The center reminds me of a Japanese type painting, with the sun rising. I've never seen one done like that, really nice.

    I keep watching this and getting all kinds of new ideas for my "Kosmikart" build. You are a true craftsman for sure.
