All builds are on some form of a budget. This fits just fine out here.

Just so I have this strait:


You are going to use some steel to reinforce what is left of that tub, and then bolt aluminum panels into the body?


Then, you might get around to making a roll cage that then bolts to these aluminum body panels?


So then you are going to mount some seats to this bolted in aluminum floor?


What sort of elaborate bolt together seat brackets are going to be used?




Good luck with all that.....








Simply because this is some sort of inexpensive build does not mean that common sense concerning safety and structural integrity should get tossed to the side or ignored completely.
