14 gauge. The floor will not be removable. Will most likely be a smoothe linex

Thanks for the info. I am going to use ten gauge but wasn't sure if I needed thicker. I don't think I have near the support that you have built into yours. I really enjoy following your build.

Im still alive.

Haven't done much to the truck. Took it out of storage today and brought it back to my garage. Hope to have it done this year.

i remember the magazine article on this truck when it was built 20ish years ago. It’s pretty awesome and I was thinking about it the other day. Thanks for posting.

also, Hagerty will insure with a cage. they didn't used to up until about 2013 but will now. One of my 911s is caged and insured with Hagerty and they have photos of it, etc. The issue was that they didn't previously have a racing exclusion but do now.

Ontario modifieds and Oscaar, cool. Are you in Ontario Canada? Where about if so. I'm in the Ottawa area. I use to race legends. Have a son that raced 4 for fun and mini stock for 5 or 6 years until he joined the army.
