After some stripping some dressing up...
The floor board under our feet is not exactly flat and it was a bit a PITA for the feet so I decided to level the playing field.
A thin sheet (1/8" thick) of anti slip, polished aluminium was used for the task. I bought a 4' X 4' piece left over from my friend car's job. The darn thing isn't cheap at $175 but we have enough to do both sides. For now I'm not doing the right side and I decided to hold off on the dead foot too because until we see where the roll cage is going to be situated I won't know if there will be a dead foot.
4 feet by 4 feet sheet of aluminium.

Initial cut out. More trimming will be required to fit properly.

To secure the aluminium piece to the car some steel square tubing and a 90 degree right angle was required. First the square tubing at 1" square and .065 thick.

The right angle a 1" X 1" by 1/8" thick.

Four 6 inch square tubing were used and welded in place.

All parts were cleaned and then primed.

All parts were then painted red.

The final assembly looks like this. The aluminium plate was secured to the other parts by using small stainless steel metal screws (not seen).
