one or two piece floor?

Is it nessasary to make the floor in one piece i.e. covering the prop shaft tunnel. I think this might catch muck and water.

Is it OK to make the floors in two separate plates and leave the prop tunnel open?

I went for one piece for strength and more flat floor. Just as many rivets though!

yeah its fine to have 2 pieces, flat floor(single piece) may have a small advantage for racing but acess outways that for a road car IMO.
