Ok this is my hot rod I stole for 3000, or thought I did. I’m curious because I can’t find anything on it anywhere, but this car has molded pvc, hard plastic, whatever you want to call it, floor pans. Now what shocked me is that this is also molded in the transmission well area. It clean and looks as it was a kit, as everything is custom molded. Does anyone have any information on what the heck this is, is it safe? Any information is very much appreciated

 

The floor pans look like normal, factory floorpans. You have some custom subframe connectors welded in there and if the floorpan feels like plastic then they may be polymer coated, like a rhino liner. And that’s what it looks like from your first picture. There’s no way or reason to make a plastic floorpan on a unibody car as they’re part of the structure of the car.

 

As far as I can tell, these are 1000 % plastic. I will scrape the bottom and take pictures to confirm. The weird thing is the tranny tunnel feels plastic as well. If it is plastic it is all molded perfectly and I can’t find any information on it anywhere

 

There’s no reason to damage the coating. Put a magnet up to it.

 

Fair enough. Didn’t think of that

 

The tunnel looks original with the pleats, creases etc

Floors are flat sheetmetal with bead rolls for strength. Most likely they're 18-20ga steel, but could be aluminum if it's riveted/glued in. Zero chance that's plastic

I agree, use a magnet

 

1000% correct. It’s is metal. I put a magnet on it and it stuck. Was just worried about it being structural sound. But whatever coating is on it , makes it feel like plastic. Appreciate all the comments and advice

 

With that fabricated subframe, the floor could be flat sheetmetal since that subframe provides far more rigidity than the factory unibody did.

My race car doesn't have that much subframe however it does have a full cage which makes up for it. My floor is just sheet metal.

 

My car has the half cage but is being upgraded to the full cage, so I guess I’m good, just anxiety got the best of me

 

Whats the rest of the chassis like? I seea 4 link and a quick change rear? Pretty sweet deal for 3k

 

New Umi an arms and new coil springs. All tie rods and linkage new moog and Umi sway bar new. Original spin falls but new rotors and wilwood brake calipers
