I've found a few nights and rainy days to work on things the last couple of weeks. The frame has gotten an annoying amount of surface rust and I am feeling good enough about the design to finish weld most of it. So decided to strip it down and get it ready for paint. There will be a lot that gets ground back off for future fabrication but will also allow me to permanently attach stuff like firewall, roof, floors. Still need to do a better job of supporting the quarters and leave room for a fuel tank.

Had an x-frame between the a pillars. That was the most efficient use of tubing and low COG. It also was very close to the scatter shield making future engine removal tough. Also was going to interfere with toe room and pedals. The truss will make this all a lot simpler so....
