Here is a bit of an update on build progress after almost a month... What with a few car shows, running back and forth to Kawkawlin and pulling together all of the wiring stuff, actual progress as been slow
We built an upper crossmember and have been picking away at the rear floor closeouts around the tank.
This is an overall view. The xmbr bolts in between the wells and the closeouts sweep up along the inside of the wells.

This one of the tapping plates we made to hold in the xmbr.

The other side with the 1 x 2 tubing fit in and ready to weld

These are closeups of either side of the close out panels.

We need to make the rear filler panel yet. I won't weld any of this until that is ready.
I also got that left front wheel well welded in and primed. Haven't seam sealed it yet. Will wait and do that when I finish up the rear panels.

Most of this we got done in a day about a month ago. The last few weeks I have spent WORKING ON THE WIRING!!!! I'm sorry, was I yelling?
Mel has been doing some serious camping. He has a 27' trailer and has a membership at one of the camp grounds out by Davison.
The next post will touch on a bit of the wiring for this dude.
Thanks for looking.
