Raising the rear wheel tubs.
 

I was feeling good on Friday and decided to raise the rear wheel tubs and back halve of floor, so that i can have as much room as possible in front of the rear seat.
This is how I did it.

I had to recut this to 5" from 3 1/4" to make more room for the curve on the bedside.

Very nice!

So what kind of seat are you going to run?

Re: Raising the rear wheel tubs.
 

I will be using the stock seat just modified to fit. I don't know what type of modifications just yet, but i will keep you posted.

Sometimes things just work out better that way.
Hopefully I will get the other side done by this Sunday.

I had to make this support to strengthen the bottom of the bedside.

I got the bedsides under primer. I think I'm going to spray them with Raptor next. My friend used it on his El Camino and it looks good and its not that expensive. I should have the frame painted by tomorrow and assembled by Friday. Can't wait.

1st of all Thanks guys for the kind words.
