Once I get a compressor, that's the plan. But for right now, they r ready to b ised as air tanks. I got them plumbed to feed air in, under the rear seat, and I got a quick connect in each b pillar. This pic is bfore I put the quick connects on, but got the nipple shown in the pic

Very nice! I plan to do mine like that, but I'm going to avoid cutting into the floor.

Atmos dude...much respect for the job...but those tie-ins...damn. I'd be welding a sheet underneath to make it all flat. I bet it would be pretty heavy after that. lol

A piece of 1/8 might work with a few extra braces to keep it from folding. I have been thinking about doing the same thing for a while now...

Hm? My tie ins? I just finished them yesterday lol. I plan on a piece of UHMW some time in the future.

Cutting into the floor is awesome tho. I only had to cut out a bit it will be easy to cover. Super ultra fancy high clearance

I just cut my old rocker panels out and welded 3/16 6x3 to the rocker sills and it's held up so far. No bracing to the frame.
