I am needing to fabricate new floors for my Manx buggy project and wanted to get some suggestions and ideas.

I was thinking of getting some type/thickness of metal and just cutting it to size and welding it in place. I am not sure how this will work or how to exactly do it or what to exactly use. Just have some ideas. I am not sure if it will look good or be noisy or any other bad consequences if this method.

I am open to any other ideas, and I think there has got to be some better ideas out there than mine somewhere. Please share your thoughts.

See photo below for what've am working with. It is a shortened chassis that already has some supports across the bottom from side to side.

Thanks for your help!

16 ga. steel plate works great

If you were going to use steel diamond plate would you use 1/8, 3/16, or 1/4"?

You are on the right track. I shortened my pans and won't ever do that again.
