I'm considering installing some sort of "glove compartment" under the
passenger seat in my '54 Chevy 3100, since I shall soon (hopefully) be
filling most of the original glove box with a nice stereo. I'm thinking
of the ways I could install a door of some kind in the 6" high metal strip
that runs around the bottom of the seats, in a spot where I can reach it
from the driver's seat. What concerns me is the structural importance of
the metal strip (I may be using the wrong terminology here) - it seems to
be holding the weight of the seats, and it looks like it was made to
support quite some weight, since it has two bends in it like so:
____ ____
___/ \___/ \__ (view tilted to save space)
Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations on how or where (or if I
should) to cut a door?
