Thanks Iceburgh. It is great to kick this around so it isn't a hi-jack Marc.
I was thinking of doing same (actually under the lip) to have a consistent edge around the perimeter. Didn't consider the impact on the body mounts. Should only be the two in the number 3 (from the front) position. Then, the front and rear edges will need to be built up with material the same thickness as the plywood.
Was thinking of welding in 16 gauge cross support channels like this. Probably will need some 90 degree tabs for doing the attaching to the side wall. Then for additional strength boxing the channel in with 16 gauge. And building around whatever kick-up that might be needed in the floor. Mine might be a box in the center for the top of the differential. Don't know yet.
Darn work sure gets in the way of building progress.....
