Much of the cutaway is to facilitate the forthcoming chassis.
Custom engine, gearbox, axle and prop shaft just didn’t really marry up to the existing floor pan.
Had I known when I started this journey, how scary this section would be I’d probably not have started! But we’re here now. No going back!

No regrets here from you starting where you did 
It reminds me of the ICON Derelict Mercedes that I've seen on youtube. It was a monocoque but they ended up cutting the floorpan and putting onto a custom chassis.

After many weeks of measurement we’re ready to order a box section chassis kit from the US now. Probably a couple of months before that lands.
We’ve also reviewed all the chrome work we need. Fortunately a lot of it is available for Sweden at reasonable prices. Then we’re getting a local company to re chrome with a nickel effect.
In the meantime I think the engine will be put back on a stand and they’ll start looking at getting it running.
