    Good job nice done, I would like to ask what kind of material to protect around exhaust pipes will not get rusted?

    • @HalfThrottleTom
      @HalfThrottleTom  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi there. Thanks for your kind comment. I wrapped the exhaust pipe under the cab with titanium exhaust wrap. I don’t think it will protect the pipe from rust. But definitely will stop some heat going on the floor.

      In my Volvo, the floor was rusted from the inside. The previous owner probably spilled something on the floor several times.

    Hi, I just want to ask what kind and how thick is the metal sheet did u use? And where did u get it?
    Thank u in advance.

    • @HalfThrottleTom
      @HalfThrottleTom  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I used 16 gauge sheet metal. I got the whole sheet from local fabricator. 16 gauge is pretty thick, you can use 18 or 20 gauge on the floor and still be fine and much easier to work on.

      I think depending what you want on your new floor. But there is a company in Chicago or suburbs of Chicago. Not so long ago I saw their post, they charge around $800.
