[DML] Re: Electric DeLorean Conversion

I have cut my floor out to do a rhd conversion, and it doesn't 
appear to cause any structural problems. I didn't cut further than 
the edges, so the pontoon bits were left intact. There is a lot of 
extra room under there, so I think it will be worth the trouble.

Good luck with the project, I like the sound of it.

Cheers
Garry Hewitt
