Project...praise the lowered

[(joey)]

so i finally gained some on the build this week.i managed to do some sheet metal trimming on the inner panels of both box sides,ordered in 3 lengths of 1x1 and 3 lengths of1x2 steel tubing for my box sides and floor frame.in the pictures you can see when i trimmed the inner box sides and on the underside i spot welded 1x1 tubing to give it plenty of strength to stay upright when i weld them to the bed floor frame.for the openings im going to mount some stainless or aluminum for a nice clean look.i also welded my front tubing in place for the custom front bed panel.on top of all this i hung the tail gate and started fixing dents.the old girl was well used.not sure if i posted this before but in the pics you can see the custom tailgate latch release i made when i shaved the original one.really feels like im getting somewhere again\
