Re: pic: we decided to leave our electronics box as the cardboard box FIRST gave us,

we're gonna cut the top off and put saran wrap on top. thanks for the compliments on the tracks. I designed them in AutoCad and we sent the file to a company called Old Dominion Brush who has CNC waterjet and they cut them out for $65 a piece (4 pieces total). We then used 1"x1" 8020 through the inside rails at the back, tapped the end 1/4-20 and use flat head bolts to pull the sides tight. the middle is the same thing except with a 1"x2" piece. our floor pan is alumalite panel from 8020 and is bolted to the 8020 cross members. But the best part is that with electronics we this whole assembly weighs roughly 35lbs. I'll try to get more pics on monday or tuesday with closeups.
