Hard to believe it's been 15 years...a world changed forever.

:thumbsup: Thanks, seems like just yesterday! I was in the Navy and during our morning brief our Duty Petty Officer called all to the shack and we witnessed the towers in flames and the ongoing chaos, I"LL NEVER FORGET 9/11 it's ingrained in my optical memory thumb drive !!!!
I'm getting there!

Keep it up Chief!:popcorn2:

They are a work of art, hopefully I can do them some justice on my car!!

what width did you go with for your read end?

Working with Jay at MillerBuilt I came up with a 56.375" between housing ends, hopefully if our math is correct I can use the same wheel and BS on the front and rear end (315 on a 10.5 w 8"BS), simplifying the choice of wheels and ability to rotate the tires!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!! Front wheels are on order and the rear axles and pumpkin are in progress!

Trying to finish the passenger mini-tub in a few days vs. years on the driver's side, lol!

Thanks for looking ...

I have to admit, the more I think about your "body prep", then wrap, it'll just speed things up, and look good. Wonder what my paint buddies think lol?

Cheers Michael...lookin good. Lemme know if you need a weekend hand, I'm bored lol

Mike, thanks! Yeah, I'm gonna get the outside straight and sanded w 400 grit and call it good. The wrap will show any low or high spots so you do have to do some bodywork, but nothing compared to guys prepping for a black paint job!

You can come on down anytime you want I'll find something for you to do :hitaxeonthehead:

Yes, after you work for it, lol!

Wow, second side is going a lot faster ... lol! Mini-tub closeouts are done and test fit the inner, cut the flange and re-bent the flange for a closer fit to the outer. Of course after you cut you have to weld em closed ... ready for some epoxy primer, maybe tomorrow I'll spray these items and the rear end.

That's where I'm at right now, I have to research strategic management initiatives and get writing on my capstone module for the week ... thanks for looking!

Looking good Chief! You know the bond between those wheel tub halves is strong enough.

Thanks Wayne, I did have one run that I had to sand down w 500 grit, I'll respray epoxy and get some 2K flat black on to protect the housing from scratches.
