That's next haha

ok good. Is that plastic going to be thick enough? I've always ran 3/4", and most others I know of have run that also. A few use 1/2" but it gets wavy even being fully backed like yours is. I could be wrong though.

Car is back together after full weld.

Loving all the cheap DIY things you got going on. Inspiration for those of us with small pockets

Really nice work here. I am loving the low budget build. Nice lines on the chassis as well.

Thanks guys! That's why I started this thread.

Started the floors in this thing last night. Have to mount the PRP seats next.

My friends 3 yr old Ultra 4 car is fine and designed the same way except his is a round tube sub. Hopefully mine will work just as well if not better with the square sub and you can't beat the $Free.95 material price haha.

I run 3/8" on my cars backed with 1/4" 6061. Works well. Just add 1 million bolts.


Love the looks and ideas going into this car! Can't wait to see it in person.
