I have been working on the car, but not on the bellypan. I have had a few electrical issues, and on Friday I discovered where the previous owner had hacked up the factory harnesses of the car and installed an aftermarket alarm system. I have half the interior stripped out of the car trying to return the car back to factory. Spent all weekend doing that and building a new relay wiring harness for the headlights, another project necessary due to inferior workmanship from the previous owner.
After I fix all wiring issues, I am going to start on my grill block and radiator intake combo, which will also form the first 1/5 of my belly pan. Belly pan will start back up when those items are done.
My only update is to reiterate: please do not put your belly pan under the exhaust sections of the car. It isn’t about whether or not the material can withstand the temperature; it turns that trapped area into an oven and heats up everything down there. My aluminum sheeting was fine temperature wise, it was just the parts up under the car that weren't fine. The last straw on my under exhaust belly pan was when the front section (nowhere near the gas tank) would heat up the front part of the cars belly so much you couldn’t hold your hands on the bolt bolting the seat to the floor after only 30 minutes of driving. It will melt, shrink, or warp plastic parts.
