Also need to figure out the most efficient way to remove burnt rubber from the rear wheel wells. This and the bent body mounts lead me to believe the PO liked to party. I don't really want to burn it off due to the smell and mess and the wire wheel is taking too damn long. Also need to order .023 wire rollers for my Miller 210. I was telling Ryno about warping the floor on the passenger side floor smd he recommended switching to .023 wire for all the sheet metal work. I bought the wire and tips planning on just running the current .030 liner but I didn't think about the damn rollers. Tried it tonight with the .023 wire running through the .030 rollers and it worked *ok*. I offset one of the rollers a bit which helped but I still need to get the .023 ones. They are $40, which sucks.

Finished forming the new corner and cut out the old one tonight. I'm probably going to cut the side marker light relief out of the old panel and reuse it. I may use a flush mount LED but I don't like how bright most of them are. I'll worry about it later.

Looks good man.

I don't suppose you have a 360 or 401 you're looking to get rid of?

Progress is always good.

Put me first on the 401 list

Nein. All I've got are 258s these days.

Bought steel for the floor supports and tailgate surround today. Didn't really have a plan for the floor when I went to the steel yard. Looking at tube they actually had in stock, I decided on 1x2 and the lightest gauge they had was 14, which is what I got. I upgrayedded the brace layout due to ease of fabrication. I drilled holes and plug welded the floor panel to the braces in a vain attempt to avoid warping. This panel is warped as ****. Between butt welding the panels and the brace plug welds it's pretty FUBAR. It's the drivers floor so it won't get too much direct attention and the spray in bed liner should cover it pretty well but I'll know... For the passenger side I am going to try building the bracing first and then setting the panel on top before welding.

Wasn't someone looking for a 304?

This thread is the closest I could find.

No one wants 304s. I want a 360 or 401.
