The BAD AST Project - Faze II

[astroracer]

This is the first full weekend I've had off in a while. Been busy at work, but I won't complain. The work is pretty easy and the money is good, upper management just wants thing done yesterday...
Mel came out this morning and we got started on the drivers side rear tub. He made the little mud skirt at the back.


I have to admit these pieces look pretty cool down there. Kind of finishes off the back of the tubs.
We also made some angle plates to spot weld in over the floor and tub joint.

These will add a LOT of strength to the tub joints, I could have left the joints as a single weld but it just made sense to do this to reinforce these joints.

After we got all of the little things taken care of we got the driver side tub re-installed FOR THE LAST TIME!!!!. We got that welded in along with one of the reinforcements.


Do you see anything missing?

The "bridgework" is gone... The tubs are welded solid and the supporting structure is no longer needed...
Tomorrow we will finish up some of the welding and install the rest of the reinforcements.
Finally! Some real progress!
Thanks for looking.
