    Door Space between body and chasis

    What are people doing with their interiors. Specifically, the little gap in the door well that has a small gap between the chasis and the body.
    I put a light by the left rear tire to get a better shot of it.

    You need a piece in the wheel well.

    yup, also fabbed a piece to block this off from some spare aluminum I had. If not, expect to get your outside arm soaked if you drive through water.

    I use the foam that is supposed go down the outside of the foot boxes(that everyone usually throws away) on the underside of the aluminum instead of the bulb seal on the side. A little cleaner look, same solution.

    Thanks for the good tips. Will have to fab something up next weekend to take care of it.
