What happens here

Begin fabricating custom floor mats by placing existing rubber floor mats on a sheet of diamond plate aluminum. Trace the outline of the rubber mats onto the aluminum using a pencil. Note that the custom mats will be slightly smaller than the original rubber mats, as the original mats tend to curl up on the sides.

Goal: Prepare the diamond plate by tracing the desired floor mat shape.

Tools and materials

  • Diamond Plate Aluminum Sheet — Making the custom floor mats
  • Existing Rubber Floor Mats — Serving as a template for the new mats
  • Gloves — Protecting hands during handling and marking
  • Pencil — Marking the cut lines on the diamond plate

What they say

get this thing started. All right, guys. Part of our interior makeover on this Dodge Challenger means we're making our own floor mats. But we're not just making them out of anything. What are we using, Frankie? diamond plated aluminum. So, diamond plated aluminum. Problem is the piece we got is just a titch too small. But we're going to use the existing floor mats as our template. The beautiful part is when we're using metal, we don't want to exactly match the way the existing floor mats are because what happens is they roll up on the sides. So, we literally got just a little bit of extra space on each side. So, the floor mats that we fabricate tonight are going to be a little bit smaller than the standard ones. That was a piece of scrap, right, Frankie? Yeah. We didn't go out and buy this. We're just making do with what we got. Nothing like recycling, right? Yeah. Absolutely. That's my favorite part of these projects. All right. So, how are we looking? We're just going to lose a little bit of this end right here. Right. Well, and this one here in this corner here. A little So now you've got it flipped over so that when we cut this out, the top the diamond plate side will be up. So we'll actually have the diamond plates for our tread. All right, we've got our game plan. We are going to lose one corner on both pieces, but that's about as tight as we're going to be able to get it. And actually, the mats are a little too big anyway. So, the little bit we're going to lose, which is right there, right where Frankie's at, we'll lose that one piece. [Music] There we go. [Music] So, we're going to lose this little bit of this corner. [Music] Yeah, we got it. All right. First thing
