More work on the floor and tranny mount

I put together the passenger side floor and finished up the rear of the drivers side floor. I am amazed how strong bent and riveted 1/8" aluminum is.






The floor is so strong that I am using it to support the transmission. Here you can see the steel mount I have bolted between the driver and passenger floor. To be safe, I am going to seem weld the entire floor and add some gussets.

I added a steel plate to add further strength and spread the load out a little bit. I will definitely have to keep an eye on the floor to make sure it's not buckling under the weight of the transmission.
