What happens here

The presenter uses a Sharpie to mark a section of the floor pan under the driver's seat. He explains that lowering the floor pan will allow the seat to sit lower, improving the car's center of gravity and driver ergonomics. This modification is being done to comply with current trends in racing setups.

Goal: Lower the driver's seat by modifying the floor pan to improve driver ergonomics and center of gravity.

Tools and materials

  • Driver Seat N/A — Reference for lowering the floor pan
  • Sharpie Marker N/A — Marking the cut line on the floor pan

why H why I can't tell now you might be wondering why is the rear end pushed up like that no we're not going to Daytona in 1998 with pull down shocks I am figuring out how much clearance I will have with the truck arm under the floor pan so I can lower the floor pan to get my seat down a little bit more and Doug told me to take measure where the Hub is at build height and up to you know top
