"...Too thick to be useful in most areas..."

I forgot to mention I have a band saw and will be slicing them thinner.

   I used black delrin material, and I think it's 1/2 inch thick but i
   can't remember for sure. I know I measured the depth of the cavity and
   then got material of the appropriate thickness so that it barely
   protruded below the lip of the chassis rail. I got mine from Larry
   Stock of Pantera Parts Connection. His primary business is plastics so
   he has all sorts of scraps lying around. I just told him what I needed
   and he gave it to me.A
   If you are proposing putting some in the front corners of the floor pan
   chassis pieces, it will consume valuable clearance that might make it
   difficult to get a jack under, so in those areas the material should be
   as thin as possible. 1/4 or even 1/8 inch might be best.A
   If you come up with a viable plan, Larry might even produce what you
   want exactly, then offer it as a kit for others?A  Give him a call....
