Is their a supplier for pre-fabed drivers floor plates? Some guys have chromed, some have real diamond plate...
Am I on my own to cut and weld or is someone selling these?

Andy,
If you are interested...
We used a product called Dynamat Extreme on the floors of a friend's 1st Gen. It is a synthetic material that is foil backed which reflects the heat very well. It conforms to the floor shape and is about 1/8 inch thick. I was so impressed with it I worked a deal to have the rights from the manufacturer to distribute it to auto groups on the internet.
Let me know if you would like to discuss it further.
Dave
Send me the details!

As I am sure Dave's product is very nice, I wanted to answer the original question with what I did on my car. Dave...I should have asked the quesiton here before I did what I did, if I would have I probably would have gone with your solution too.
Here is what I did.
I went to Lowes and bought a $25 piece of diamond plate that "roughly" fit the dimensions of my open space in the driver side floor board. I set it in place, drilled some wholes on the end nearest to the driver and pop-riveted that end into place. I grabbed my mini-propane torch and heated the other end and took a hammer to the base to lightly shape it into the floor well and then drilled holes and pop-riveted that end into place.
I then went around the outsite perimiter and did the samething. I am pretty pleased with what I did in 20 minutes.
I think that mine is functional, but will not provide the protection of what Dave is offering.
I'm interested also

Everyone should have an email message. I really don't know how much to discuss it here because it could be considered commercial? I am trying to broker this deal to just cover expenses. The owner is a friend, and I have thought his product had great use in racing applications.
Besides, he's a motorhead. Building a Land Speed car around a jet fighter belly tank with 12A running gear.
I'll get answers for any questions.

I have an aluminum plate installed on my 1ST GEN. car and have a template available. I can send copies of the template or a full fabricated, ready-to-install plate.
Remember this is for 1ST GEN. only:

aluminum plate - $50 plus shipping
Contact me at [email protected] for more info.

I purchased some diamond plate looking aluminum mud flaps from Discount Auto PArts. I bent it into a box shape on a vise then drilled two holes in it and the side wall of the car. Put in a couple of 9/16" bolts with lock washers and after pressing on it until it stopped bending I have a good looking light weight foot plate. I weigh 225 lbs and stand on it hard and it works perfectly. Purchased the mud flaps for about $25. Obviously you end up with a spare so you can make a gift for a racer friend too.
