Thanks! I was just popping through your intro thread and looking at the buildup pics. What are the specs on your lift/wheel/tire combo?  Probably overkill for what I plan on using my truck for, but wow - that looks great

I would definitely ditch the running boards, they generally CAUSE rust on the rockers.

Love the Lotus, I always wanted one of those, got a Vette instead.

Excellent! I come from a long line of vettes. I've had 13 of them, the most recent is an 08 Z06

Update - The running boards are off and, as predicted, seem to be hiding some rust. I'm going to pull the interior and carpet next to find the true extent of it.

I would LOVE to upgrade to a Z06 (ZR1 is way to pricey for me), but I can't let got of my 00 FRC, there wasn't that many made so I want to hold onto it.

Definitely check the floorpans and rockers.

Just a quick update. I yanked the top off about a month ago and have really been enjoying the truck since. I'm now starting to seriously plan some mods for the fall. The first thing on the list will be floor plans on both sides as mine are rusted through. The carpet is really all that is holding the front of the seats into the truck, particularly on the passenger side.

Where is the best place to get replacement panels? I am looking for the section that runs from about midway through the seat to about 9 inches in front of the seat...

To like the front of the wheel well there is another piece that goes from the wheel well to the lip .

To go towards the back these are needed (2 one DS and one PS)
