Does anybody have measurements for the roadster wood floor?
I have some plywood available through work that is very close in thickness. I would like to attempt the floor myself. It would seem the area around the pedals / column would be tricky to measure but would be critical for proper plate fitting.
Roy Nacewicz makes great boards but our Canadian dollar just tanked so I would like to try this first.

The dimensions were in an issue of the V8 Times in about 1971 in case you have access to the back issues. I took a look at the number of mill cuts and decided to buy mine.

The top looks easy but the bottom is really complicated. I have built two sets using the V8 Times artical. I only have basic tools so it is a challenge to get all the reliefs cut. I extend the toe boards out to the cowl sides to seal this area. They are supposed to stop at the edge of the firewall. I also mask off and make seals from RTV to really try to seal it. The tape on the cowl keeps the RTV from sticking.

I have all the woodworking tools available to me through my work if I don't own them. If anybody has scanned the article "wink" I would love to look at it.
