if i was a sheetmetal guy, i'd fab up an underbelly tray.

as far as making your own sfcs, it would be awesome if someone could make a kenny brown double diamond setup that fits on verts...

I started with a hotchkiss set and and modified them to fit the profile of the floor. This brought them 2" further up into the floor and allowed me to weld them onto the pinch seam.
It's easier just to buy a set already done, like those above, but with welding and sheet metal skills you should have no problems.

Tyson, Is that you?

There is serious interest on here from somebody to offer a Double Diamond SFC. I would have gladly dropped an extra $100 over the cost of my BMRs for a well made set of Chromo DD designed SFCs when I put them on my SS.

Being a vert, it is not a huge market, but you'll move some product if you do it right.
