What I wanted to share here, is info on a plastic sheet called Kydex. Kydex is a propriatary product, but there may be some generics. The material is lighter than ABS, yet stiffer. It is used for truck bed liners, amoung other things. I made a splitter out of it a about 12 years ago and it held up extemely well. I got it at a wholesale plastics supply and I bought a remnant for a few dollars. It can be thermoformed with a heat gun.
You know I'll have some under my car sometime next year when I get done with all the nonsense I'm doing now. I'm not even going to install the stock gravel pan under the steering box. But, unlike Thom, I think I'll stop at the front of the floor pan. We'll see about any work aft of the floor pan. That could be fun.
Here's the one from the brake duct thread.
