Getting ready for the back half. Figured I would strengthen the rockers while giving myself a nice clean surface to weld to. I welded a piece of 1/8” flat bar on there which should do the trick.

This would be a good time to consider adding convertible inner rockers. It stiffens them up considerably.

That'll work too.

10-19-2022 #45I’m thinking of doing something like this for the frame rails. The front section sits low like the stock front rails under the foot well. The rear rails sit 3” higher. This lines the top rail up with the stock seat risers. It also lines up the rail to weld direct to the back half. I’ll just keep the floor up high from that point back.

I like that. Where it goes through the seat risers it becomes another way to tie your frame connectors into the unibody.

10-24-2022 #48The back half shipped today and should be here for installation this coming weekend. I better make sure I clean up the shop a bit so I have room to get that set in.

Well, the back half arrived today - good news. But, FedEx Freight destroyed it in transit. Looks like mine was the victim of some forklift jousting.
