Give B&B a call - - he'll sell you a trans tunnel. They are really nice!

The following progress is the result of 4 straight days of working in the garage and sleeping very little. I loved every minute of it!

Started off by working on the exhaust. 3" round to oval, then back to round at the muffler. Borla Pro-XS mufflers. I only ran it back to the muffler and plan to finish out the over the axle pipes and tail pipes later. I thought it would be easier to build it back to the axle before I put the floors in.

Nice and tucked up - - - all worth the 2X cost of the oval tubing!



All tacked together.

I also got the seats mounted..... I bought threaded tubes and made "stand-offs" for the tracks to bolt to. Between the side mounts and the tracks, I have all kinds of adjustment. The seats bolt directly into the rectangular tubing crossmembers that I built.

I wanted the cage to fit up tight...........so, I ended up having to remove the front roof structure to weld it. Drill all of the spot welds out of the roof structure (after taking a few measurement of course!). Welded the cage bars and then replaced the structure. BTW -- - My interior guy will probably kill me. The headliner is going to be a tight fit.







Putting it back together.







Test fitting the roof skin.

I cleaned up the inner structure and brushed on a KBS products (kind of like POR15. - - it worked out pretty nicely.

I picked up this Mittler Bros bench top press and a dimple die set too!

We worked on the trans tunnel. I bought the front section of the tunnel from B&B. The rear section Dad and I formed with a piece of 4" steel pipe and a board that Dad shaped for a makeshift hammer form - - - I'm really pleased with how it turned out.







Made one section of the floor panel - - got to play with my Mittler Bros bead roller!



Welds ground and stitch welded into the rocker tubing (my added 3X5" tubing)



Almost looks like I know what I'm doing.



Botom view.



That was about all dad and I could squeeze into the last few days - - --

Is anyone else having a problem seeing your pics or is it just me? All I see is an X.

Hmmmmm....... I'll have to mess with it. I'm trying to use Google Plus to size them to a normal size. The album is shared publicly, but Google changes things so often.
