Very nice Pat, I always look forward to your updates.

Plenty close to the ceiling but all that matters is that it clears. Good to see the next step.

Yes it is close, about 2" from the lights and 4" from the ceiling.

Had some help at the shop today ;-)

Thanks

Started installing the torque boxes and have the left aft welded in. The US Car Tool boxes fit nice and only need a little adjustment. I added a 1 ½” hole for a future rear brake vent.
Thanks

I started on the driveshaft loop/crossmember today. Using a press I oval a 2” section of 6” pipe and hammered the top half to match the shape of the driveshaft tunnel. With the loop clamped in place and using a 15” contour gauge (a must have tool) I made two cardboard pattern for the crossmember. With the cardboard center section of each pattern as wide as the square tubing (2”) I was able to lay it over the tubing to get a precise line to cut with the plasma cutter. I still need to make the pattern for inside the tunnel above the loop before I can weld it to the floor.
Thanks

I like your multi extended vice grips. I wanted a contour gauge for a while. Now I see why I need one.

Looks like you're puppy printer ran out of in by the time you did the middle one.

It's the first time I had a real need to use those vice grips and I have to say money well spent! And the contour tool is from Eastwood and I have used that on a few other projects.
Thank you!

:-) The middle lab is actually the oldest and she has always been light colored but as she's gotten older the gray is taken over, like me ;-)

I have a 6" pin style contour tool but a longer one would great to. Thanks for spending more of my money Pat.

The drive shaft loop/crossmember is made and tack welded in place. Back to the torque boxes.
Thanks

Magic. Nice fit. You should be very proud of your work.

Finished up a few details on the front of the frame connectors today. Front torque boxes are next.
Thanks

Wow, once again your attention to detail is amazing. Very clean work--the best kind.

Fit and tack welded the right front torque box. Had to bend the US Car Tool torque box on an angle and added ¼” along the floor side to get a good fit. Both sides will need the same alteration to fit correctly.

Thanks

Installed the parking brake cable pass-through tube in the frame connector. I also remove the original floor mount for the parking cable as I’m going to install a small roller to redirect the cable along the frame.
Thanks
