Dennis

looks nice! A lot better than what a P.O. did to a truck I had a while back. They took a piece of 1/8" steel, cut to size, dropped it in and tack welded it in several spots. Stuff slid around like crazy on the smooth surface! It looked OK, but not as nice and well thought out as yours. I was able to grind the tacks, andthe divider strips underneath were reuseable! I just bought new oak for it, cleaned/ painted the strips and installed. Necessity is the mother of invention.
