The third photo gives a good comparison of what it looked like (top, old rail) and what it will become. Nice work.

Good to see you back home safe. Enjoy.

I still have to weld the Zedd Findings rail on, then remove the front frame rail and weld in the new one, then overlay the bad dog frame rail over both! Should be pretty strong when I'm done... LOL

That looks good. Smear a little fiberglass over the seems to fill any pinholes and smooth them a little, then primer...good to go!

^_^ I will! I remember your tips from before! However, there is still a lot of welding and grinding to go before I get the whole pan ready for 'smoothing'. There are a lot of weak seams still and too many holes to just fill yet. I will do another round of weld stitching first....

For sure. The passenger doesn't need near as much modding to fit the tunnel. The driver side was not formed to fit the 76 catalytic converter option.

Cleaned up the seat supports and covered them in internal frame coating to protect them.
