We started the rear half of the interior build with the floor. We cut 7 sections of Hard Rock Maple, fitting the outer sections nicely to the wheelwells. Once this was completed, we layed out the stainless strips. |
 |
We then fabricated a rear lower sill plate. This piece was made in several sections due to the multiple curves. |
 |
.Since the battery(s) were to be located under the floor, we made a template of the size of hole needed. After placing in several areas, it was determined this would be location that would work best.
|
 |
Once the hole was cut,
we then fabricated a steel cover. This will eventually be painted black,
with chrome screws holding it in place. |
 |
Underneath the hole is a battery box we fabricated. Two 6 volt batteries wired in series will provide the power. The bottom of the box is notched to help keep the batteries in place. There's also a slide that helps in removing the batteries into the box.
|
 |
We then built a tool box to fill the hole under the cover. |
 |
Once the tool box is removed, you can see the location of the batteries. |
 |
Here's the wood box, oiled and finished, and batteries wired. Also the cut-off switch is wired in. It's really a nice piece and it's a shame to cover it up! |

.A shot of the finished floor. Everything sanded and oiled, stainless strips polished. There will still be a piece added at the very front to act as a stop for items sliding into the seats. |
