yes, those kits are awesome. I only asked because you closed off the side vents! Mine doesn't have A/C (because of money, not the power aspect. lol) and those little side vents are my best friend.

Ok so i got the firewall in and now it is time to get the first piece of the floor in place then start making my body mounts to attach the floor to the chassis. Heres what ive got so far....

bottom of floor showing the diamonds. I think its a cool idea...

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 
So my body mounts are just competition engineering hard poly universal body mounts. I used 4" grade 8 1/2 bolts and welded the bottom side washer to the head of the bolt. The reason i did that was so i could make a piece of tube that would attach to the chassis with a bolt sticking up through the floor. So there will be a nut and a washer coming through the floor. The benefit of that is that any time since the head is welded to the tube, i just have to tighten the nylon bolt and its done. Also ill know if the body mounts are getting loose by looking down at the nuts in the floor. Now heres some pictures to explain my idea.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 
So the wheel tubs were made to contour around a 54" bogger tire, they are 61" in length and 24" in width. They are so long and wide cause when i use my rear steer i dont want the tires to rub on the fenderwells
