Modified floor pan for altered today to suit deep pan of powerglide. I was thinking of making a full length floor pan to catch any fluids from engine / fuel tank etc. What do others think / currently use. My current floor runs from rear of engine back. Glen

Nice job, I think I would have left the deep pan uncovered to relieve heat?

There will be no internal floor on this car, gearbox will be exposed. Full JW powerglide unit, I am thinking that the tech inspectors will require a sealed type floor - hence cover over pan. My thinking about full length belly pan  is to catch any leaking fluids from going on track or tyres or having car shut down. Im talking minor leaks not major ones obviously. Cooling issues could be overcome if required. This is my first race car ( only ever had street cars years ago, about 12 sec) so all advice greatly appreciated.  Glen

We ran a similar tray. After adding the wings the containment was seriously compromised by the notches required. So we changed the pan, added the cooler and a Kevlar engine diaper.

I did the same thing to mine, just a little deeper. I ended up adding at the front edge 3 sloped 1x1x1/8 aluminum angle to strengthen it and keep the front edge from catching anything like my trailer floor when loading the car.
