I've seen this in a few motor t vehicles, a small plexiglass window that when going up steep hills you can see obstacles/ up the other side.
The plan is to buy 1/8 Plexiglass and basicly cut to fit on the frame rails closest to the door.and right under the brake and gas petal. Than weld everything in than place then bolt the Plexiglass to the fram.
Or say screw it and do the whole floor with Plexiglass. What yall think I've never seen i Done and I think it can? give me feed back.

Good old J-ville, the only thing i miss is the movie theater and the Paycheck. You know those MP's at the gate everytime you go through? I was FAPped over to them. ****ty job.
Anyway, back you your question. It's hard to see down by your pedals when your head is down there. I would just do metal, plexiglass doesn't have the strength, although it'd be cool if you are at Topsail beach driving in the water. With the metal Fab shop on base and there cheap metal prices, and access to tools, i would just do the floorpans straight metal.
Just my suggestion. When do you EAS? jc.
