I used a small hand file to notch each rib into the back wall. But the cutting a slice sure sounds easy

No a single slice with a .035 cut off wheel turned out to be a perfect fit. I had to tap the lower section in with a small hammer it fit so well.

Had you actually cut each rib into the back wall,,,,,that would have been worth an extra grand! looks like you got a nice tight fit with it. great job!

Time to slice and dice! I had some time today during baby sitting my son so only about 2hrs all day

I got the body off the frame and bolted to the dolly and ready to be cut all apart for rust repair and blasting. I hope to be finished working out of town next week so I will be able to get it up to the strippers so I can get started on the rest of the repair.

And no the dolly plans will not be ready for awhile yet, I have some tweaking to do before I am ready to draw up the plans.

Sorry for the bad pics but with my son in one hand and a camera in the other this is as good as they get
