Jim - Nice to see your truck up and running again. Best wishes for the new year.

"Does it fasten to the floor somehow?"

I don't recall ever seeing a bezel to hold the boot to the tunnel on the old VWs. I was planning to make one out of a piece of stainless sheet stock when the time came for the interior.

"beautiful work! I love this truck."

Thanks. Pretty envious of yours though. You're driving. Got to ride in an AD truck with an LS motor and 5spd a few weeks ago. Nice. I really want to stop fabbing and start driving.

"poor you about getting chilly"

I know!

I installed it before I retired so I could work out there in the summers when it is 115F. It is a bonus to be able to walk out to the shop on chilly mornings in your slippers and bathrobe an putter around!
