(erielack) Hopper construction help



List,
 
I need some help concerning the construction of the EL 21300 - 21349  hoppers.
 
100 ton, 2 bay Pullman Standard hoppers built in 1966
 
The sides are straight and the ends are straight, both to the bottom of the  
car.
The diagrams show the angle of the slop sheets for the two bays.
 
My question is :
 
Is the floor, bottom of the car flat?  With the two bays coming out of  it, 
or is it sort of hollow inside?  Which means you could see the entire  bay and 
the slop sheets, etc?  
 
Why are you asking?  I'm building two of them in HO.
