You have all inspired me to try and make a rear roll pan this winter. It is low and behind the bumper, so if I mess it up, it wont be too noticeable, I hope.

also thinking about a metal piece below the dash to hold the radio


Great work, and thank you for the inspiration
Thank you for following along. I will be also making a lower dash to house my AC vents, controls as well as my wiper and light switches. I did that on my last build. That is also why I cut my dash flat across the bottom. For the lower dash, I'm going to enlist the help of one of my fabricator friends as he has better tooling. Mock it up in cardboard fist. That's what I did (covered in a post several pages above). The you can lay it flap and see all of the necessary bends and cuts. Then fold up the metal and weld it up. This applies to anything you are trying to build out of metal.
