Nice! I would suggest welding in a bar Inbetween the door jams. It's obviously too late for this side but it helps to keep everything lined up. Once you cut the floor you lose all the integrity and the whole structure moves around. I only figured this out after I did one of my sides, I got it to line back up fairly good but its much easier if you weld in some braces. Once you weld the floor in then you just cut the braces back out. Hope that helps!

A lot of the same things I need to do to mine, except I've got a big hole under my gas peddle, too. Nice work, keep the pictures coming, I've got to figure all this out before the time and money come so I don't squander them.

Looks good guys. When Jed pulled his seat today I was relieved that the floor had 0% rust. We will probably need your help when he is ready to do rockers though.

Glad you're back 4dranch! I've been watching this tread since I'm 18 and trying to find money to build, and gain the knowledge throughout the process. It motivates me to keep going knowing that other kids out there are doing the same. Keep it up!

Very Nice David!! I was thinking about you the other day. Hadn't seen any post in a while. Then I checked your profile and saw that you were on that day. ;)
