wow, how did you get your steel sheet so cheap. i bought a 4x8 piece of 18 ga last fall and was 65 bucks at the steel distributer here in green bay. Did you check around any of the places that sell replacement panels. Maybe one sells just a section unstead of the whole pan, don't know.
Cut them out and pop in a clear piece of plexiglass for your floorborads. Wouldn't it be neat to watch the road go by as you drive?
I think thats what he is trying to get rid of LOL
