[DeTomaso] Lowered Floor Pans for more headroom

[Pantdino]

I'm sure someone will post with more details or a reference, but my recollection is that you don't want to lower the entire floor but rather leave the forward portion as it is and angle the floor down as it goes rearward. You cut the floor on the sides and rear, bend it down, and weld in triangular pieces to support it that way. This lowers and tilts the seat bottom.  Too much and you'll hit on every speed bump you come across.

  Anyone recall a forum posting or article on lowering the floor pans.
  My search has come up empty.
