???? On The Schiada Interior!!!!

[Dans66Stevens]

Im just getting started on the interior. On the floor between the stringers I have a space with no floor. It is the width of the stringers apart. What is the best way to cover this up? Right now I have a frame work of 2x4s with plywood over that.The last owners Cob JOB!!! The drive shaft sticks up just above the floor. Of course up where the Casale is about 6 inches higher. In the front I know I need a hump in the floor.

Depends on the type of seating. Usually theres a dog house that covers the drive line. Did one with rear bench-front buckets that had a floor in the rear that came right up to the drive line cover and the back of the v- drive. Had carpet with a chrome tube sticking 1/2 above the floor. Looked kinda cool. Wish I could post pics.
