Little tunnel slicing
 
5 Attachment(s)
Well this truck has been in different stages of torn apart for going on 7+yrs now and it may finally be getting closer to the road! I had some spare time today with the rain here in sunny Ca. so I went out into the shop and flipped the cab over and begain to weld up the holes in the floor as well as finish off welding up the body drop loose ends. Once I got that finished I remembered that my cross member and driveline hit the cab floor so I started to fix that problem. All in all I netted about 2 1/2" of drivline room and 1 1/8" of cross member room and that will be plenty. Now I will seam seal everything up and paint/undercoat it then finish up the fire wall and get it ready for paint. Here are a few pics.

Looks great, Kevin! I love the look of your truck with those buff ralleys. Can't wait to see it all finished up.

looks great. What is that welding technique called that you used for the tunnel? (where you punched holes and then welded the new piece through the holes?)

Just plug welding or rosa' welding. Works great for sheet metal that you are not finishing off. This will just get seam sealer on both sides and that is it. I punched holes in both pieces 1" apart from each other then weld them up.
