Couple of long days, belly pans are to make a box in the floor by the cargo door that will hold items and house a few other items. It will also be used to slide over rocks, chassis/body support and to keep mud snow and whatever else out of the undercarriage. They will be removable. Thanks Dario for the pictures. I will try and remember to get some before we star welding tomorrow.
Jason has been kicking ass since he got here.
I just burned in the first piece of metal.  Small section of drivers lower b-pillar outer.
Trimming up a larger section for the inner.Â
We will build it if it comes.
Drivers lower b- pillar back together. Top hat sections, inner rocker, rear out rigger, long side support brace section, and  a couple of random patches all burned in.
We will build it if it comes.
Pat working his magic today and teaching me a lot.
Front floor is ready for new metal
Getting ready for the transmission drop.
Started cleaning out the front beam to add adjusters. I can tell Kelli my wife that I’m not just having fun and working but training for diapers for our kid that will be here in May. Just glad it doesn’t smell like a diaper.Â
Franz killed it on the adjuster welds! I need a lot more work at it, mine looked like chicken shit or a massive tumor. Guess I’m a grinder for a while.
Finished the adjustable beam, ready to blast and paint.
Removed the log heat tube and piped it into the main heater tube. Pat fixed the gas heater hole and the other hole that was cut with an air hammer.
All the bottom side is complete, now planning on the 3 compartments that will be located between the floor and belly pans at the cargo doors to house jumper cables and other random stuff that gets in the way.
Iâve been lazy on the update the last couple days. Sorry.
Finished up the long side on Tuesday, minus a front outrigger and jack point.
Jason started fitting parts ahead of me on Tuesday so yesterday was a weld fest for me.
Top hat sections, inner rocker, rear out rigger and jack point, rear outer rocker section, small frame patch, heat tubes, new clutch cable tube, rear bulk head patches, and a fancy heat tube elbow Jason made up.
Fitting cargo door rocker this morning. Going to get the pass side buttoned up today then move onto the cab area.
We will build it if it comes.
