OK more progress, started building the new floor board. Building it as low as possible for more leg room but had to raise it in the center to fit over the frame of the truck.
Also started forming the hinges. Took using a small styrene tube, a piece of wire just the right size to fit in the tube and a sheet of .050 styrene.
I started by cutting 6 tabs out of the Styrene. I lined them up and measured the tube to check my length. Cut a piece of tube, then I ran the wire down in the tube. This is important if you are using super strong chemical to melt/weld the styrene. The wire makes sure that the styrene tube does not warp and colapse due to the chemical glue. I then applied PVC cleaner (this starts softening and melting the plastic) followed by a little multi purpose plumbing cement. Then glued them together. The next step will be to cut the hinges apart, super glue the ends onto the wire and attach the doors to the truck.
