Completed storage project looks great.

Secured them right to the steel seat frame, the securing rings are detachable, pretty much lost zero space!

3.5" deep, room to spare, it was pretty cool......it was set for production but the quarter panel needed to be formed to a contour prior to laser cutting which presented an issue in my current location......parts and quantities would have needed to be shipped in which made it a non-profit.
