Sleeperstang1994 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 So. Im working on doing my first set of through floors. And so far... Not so bad. Here's my first questions and some pictures to illustrate. The front rail is in fine. Perfect I might add. I cut the rear rail out today. Cut my steel and slide it in the hole( giggity [MENTION=10]WildWillyWalker[/MENTION]) now. The rear frame rail dips down from where it enters at the floor pan towards to area where my IRS subframe bolts in the front. If I leave the rail level, it's way to low to match up with the front rail. Also there is a gap between the rail And the bottom inside of the original subframe rail. However if I hammer the rail down in the back to line the front up, there is a gap on the too of the rail. I think the last way is the way to go. But I'm looking for some opinions or insight from anyone who has done this. Sorry for the book... Here's the pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 In for answers. I'm doing this this winter. I think most of the set ups I've seen have a diagonal piece that connects the front to the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slykin Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Also in for answers. I'm wanting to do this after I get the SFC's welded in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeperstang1994 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yeah I know I need to make an angle to get the front to the rear. My questions is more on the "up&down" angle of the rear portion here is a good picture. Not our set up but kind gives you an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musturd Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I heated my square tube up and bent it a bit to go with the floor contour better for the rear section . I basically copied my friends wolf race craft through floors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically copied my friends wolf race craft through floorsI put a set of Wolfe through floors. Best set up in my opinion. Everything fit well.

Sleeperstang1994 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 do the wolfe ones rest on the bottom inside of the front frame rail? it looks like your rails are more "under" the car where mine are mostly on the inside? I know the main goal is to get every thing welded up good. however I would like to weld the most area I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the main goal is to get every thing welded up good. however I would like to weld the most area I canYeah it's more under. How it fits is that it pinches itself between the back seat edge and the v in the floor inbetween the front drivers seats mount and the front is angled to fit infront of the front sub frame and the rear goes back and connects the rear. I'll shoot some bottom shots tonight or tomorrow and show ya.After welding most edges I seam sealed all edges of through floors top and bottomThere are two out riggers that connect the pinch welds to the center frame that the cage sits on On going project, 94 cobra, r block, tfsr225, hp efi, vortech ysInstagram [MENTION=584]Rolocut[/MENTION]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeperstang1994 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 so basically instead of moving down after the v in the floor ( how I have it now) yours comes down before the v? Pictures would be great lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeahloh95 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 the wolfe ones are the ones i used too they are cut to fit the shape of the floor in the front , if you look on thier site you can see the shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeperstang1994 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 screw me for wanting to make my own lol. well i guess i will bring home my angle gauge from work and see what i come up with. Im guessing as long as i get a decent weld into the rear rail the "angle" shouldn't really play any roll in the stiffening effect. other that taking up space in the rear seat.
