I'm ready to put the floor in my 32. I have a 'glass 32 Roadster, and keep in mind that is is going to be built as a MOSTLY race legal car (SCTA and NHRA), so I have to run steel.
I cut the 'glass floor out, except the area that sits on the frame. Question 1: Since my frame is boxed, and I can't access the bolt holes from underneath, what's a trick to do to line up my bolt holes? I guess measuring and drilling each and every one will be the right way. Start small, and bore bigger???
Now that the body is drilled for mounting, I take the bolts out, and fling the body into the front yard, so I can install my one piece steel floor. Around the preimeter of the sheetmetal (where it meets the frame) I plan to pop a hole every 6 inches or so, and drill and tap the frame, corresponding with each sheetmetal hole. Use button head screw to bolt floor down to frame. I've already cut it out, and looks pretty good so far. I still need to run some stiffening beads, but, I have to find a place that can do that. Do I need to worry about shrinking (e.g. will my holes line up after I run beads, or should I do them first?)
I'll post pics tomorrow for more clarity on the topic. Thanks in advance. JL
