Trans tunnel patch is welded in. I'm really happy with the end result! It seems like such a shame to go cuttin' up all that new sheet metal but if there's one fear I've gotten over, it's the fear of taking a saw, welder or grinder to this thing! Once you've had to drill a couple of holes in a $9,000 subframe, everything else pales in comparison!

Firewall view of the forward trans tunnel mod...raised enough there should be plenty of room for engine setback and still have easy access to bell housing bolts and running the ECM harness down the back of the engine...

This is after...again, it would've been ideal to stop the black along the body line where the factory did but at least it'll still be behind the rear bumper. Besides this thing's gonna sit low enough that anybody that notices that will have found much more by then in the way of flaws.

Getting the roll bar in...as much as I enjoy it, at times it seems like the welding will never end! Lucky for me I have some good help!
Btw, if you own stock in 3M's yellow tape division, you're welcome!!

Created a makeshift paint booth in the garage and got the epoxy laid down inside and out. Also got the Upol Raptor bedliner put down under the car, in the trunk and along the firewall cowls, terminating it where the front fenders attach.
I gotta say I love that stuff! I bought 1 kit (4 bottles) plus 2 extra bottles and only used a little over 2 bottles for everything. I was going for a nice even finish with a fine texture. I didn't skimp on it but having the black epoxy laid down first really helped keep the bedliner even since your not having to use the bedliner as the only cover. I found that 80 psi air pressure gave me the results I wanted. I also found myself wanting bedline everything I could think of!!
