Once the substructure was in place I started the process of fabricating the floor panel extensions. I decided to use pre painted .040 aluminum for the close out panels. The pictures show the center panel cleco'd into place.

While I am finishing up remodeling the right side rocker I decided to work on finishing out the trunk floor area. Since I don't have the regular floor structure to count on I had to beef up the area on the right and left side of the floor where the wing will transfer the load to the chassis. I first welded a piece of 1 1/2" .049 wall square tube across the back below the floor area to tie the bumper outriggers together. I then ran more 1 1/2" tube front to rear in order to tie into the 06 trunk floor extensions. I welded a small 1/2" stand off from the bolt up on the rear frame to help triangulate the support to the side pieces. It stiffened up the area quite nicely.
