Finish cutting out the floor plate and drilling out the mount holes in the VW bug’s bottom floor board. After cutting out the plate using the plywood platform as a template I again used the template to locate and drill out the mount holes.
I am cutting the VW bug’s bottom plate to match the wooden platform. I have drawn the outline of the platform on the steel and will use the platform as a cuting guide. I moved the platform away from the line about 1/4″ so that the plasma cutting tip would line up with the markings.
Again this video shows the positioning of the VW bug front sway bar. This is giving me a good idea as to where the sway bar will cross the bottom of the frame so I can position the mounts. I rework the sway bar a little later on in the build. As for now it fits fairly well. The bottom floor plate has also come in so I will cut and fit it to match the bottom plywood platform.
