Livin' my life...one gas station at a time.
The firewall bulkhead connector showed up in the mail today. I also picked up a DIY trunk floor from a local steel supplier. It's a 4'x8' sheet of 18 ga steel. I tried to get 20 ga, but the distributor kicked back the order unless I wanted to order 5 sheets of it. The local shop had a 4'x8' sheet of 18 ga on hand, so I got that instead.
I originally wanted 20ga because that's the steel thickness limit of the 36" sheet metal brake I ordered. If the brake can't handle an 18ga test bend, I'll have to cut the material to shape and get the steel shop to make the bends for me.
I'll go out to the garage tonight to make the trunk floor pattern out of cardboard. Its too hot out to do anything else during the day.
EDIT: The metal brake arrived today instead of tomorrow. I unboxed it, but it's still too hot out to do much else right now.
