Hmmm. Well it will be fastened top, bottom sides, and rear to the inside body lines. The front will need to be accessible however I can perimeter brace if necessary. It will also need to be sturdy enough through the floor and rear bulkhead areas to support two 12V batteries, about 40LBS each a 32LB on board fire bottle, the air compressor at about 20LBS, and misc electronics that can't go over about 15LBS max. My big concern is making a mold that will fit snugly into the space I have to work with. Once I get this thing built I will need to figure out how to drop the rear supports for my roll bar through it and the stock floor pan so I can tie them into the frame. That however isn't a big deal and probably will help with providing lateral strength.
Does all of this make any sense???
