Hey Everybody,

Update time: Been hard at it since last time. Working on final fitment of the driver side floor, then welding in place. There are a ton of places where welding occurs! I'm just about done with all of it and will soon be moving on to the inner cowl. I'm including a pic of the new floor and the test fit of the transmission cover. The cover needed some hammer and dolly work to fit the profile of the toeboard. It looks like I may actually get this done.... Is it still unconventional? Yes. However, I am learning through the process and refining what I do and my welds are marginally better. While working on the toeboard, I sat on the passenger side floor. It took my full 180 lbs without blinking. So I feel good about that. My lingering question is about longevity of those welds. Will they hold up to the vibrations when I'm operating the truck. Time will tell!
