Thanks Mike. I know I am going against what a ton of people have said but I just want to get this thing thrown together and drive it this summer. I have all winter to tear it back apart and paint it all, lol.

Were you layed up this weekend still? I have softball games all week for my little girl so it is a lot of late nights till 12 I see in my future. That frame is just the base. I am still trying to determine if I want a lower floor with the air stuff exposed and a notch cover or if I want to raise the entire floor level. Oh well the base has to be made regardless. It ends up fitting pretty good though.

I'm good now, spent Saturday running errands and spent most of yesterday putting my spray booth up. I did manage to bodywork the fenders and spray a couple more coats of epoxy on.

I'm still trying to make the same decision about my bed floor that you are. Check out screamingchevypickups Lucy build thread. I'm thinking about doing a the same to my bed. Basically raise the floor up to the bottom of the wheel tubs so that I don't have to modify the tubs any and build a hinged notch cover.
