... The thought of extra room on each side of the trans. interreges me. ... I'm going to put kitchen cabinets all the way to the drivers seat on the left side. I had figured on going over the step and using a door to access a waste basket. There may be some extra usable space there. Have to be careful as to not jeopardize structural integrity. ...


Ray, for a waste basket inside a cabinet you shouldn't have to cut the structure. Just remove the plywood and leave the aluminium structure. Box the area below and select a waste basket that fits in the space. Just seal this really well as this is the firewall.

Another idea for using this space could be a built in safe. I have also seen a starting battery in this space. (Bert and Fay Curtis)
