Help building a part for my drag car

I made a template on cardboard, then picked up some sheet mettle from Lowes and put it together. I put the back seat back in and besides the package tray, you would never know it was there. The sheet mettle I used added a little weight, but it was cheap (and I was in a hurry when I built it)....I would go aluminum if you can find it.

Note: Be sure to check the regulations before building it. I think there is a specific thickness of mettle required, but I don't recall what it is...and it is different depending on the material used.


Not only that but the thickness isn't the same depending on whether you use steel or aluminum. Check the rulebook on this one, especially if you don't plan to run a backseat.
