I hope that all is going well for the wife.

I have not done much on mine the past few days either.
I'm older n the cold does get to me sooner.
The stove is a help,but the tall roof on the shop just hurts the heat.
Going to try to work on the front end-radiator n fender tomorrow.

Again hope the wife is feeling better.

Appreciate that 99! The big yellow picker is a farm made very large cherry picker my Dad and Uncle made way back when for working on heavy farm and construction equipment.

Thank you Ratty! I agree this is a better direction...just took a lot of work to get here...LOL. Good luck with the 66 you are looking at / having shipped in.

Just a little more shop time yesterday to install the cross braces between the wheel tubs. These are the 2 inch wide by 1 inch deep I have the local fabrication shop bend up out of 16 gauge. You can see a section of the channel sitting at the back of the floor. Then I boxed them in with 16 gauge to make a pretty strong support.

Made a paper template for the section of floor between the tubs. After I install that section of floor will set the body back on the frame to determine clearance for the differential center section when the truck is aired out.

Can almost see the finish line for this floor install...man, it has been months....time increased with my unexplainable goofy move with the truck tubs....guess I want a 67 to 72 again.

Thanks for checking in.
