OK enough playing. Back to work. wink

Welded new running board reinforcements and mount brackets on. Shot some epoxy primer on the new tailgate and bed cross-sills I picked up from Mar-K. Cut out rusted floor section and fabricated a patch. Got the under-seat floor depression formed using a plywood sandwich and beat the metal in to the right shape. Also got the little swimming pool shaped depression at the corner of the seat riser formed using the plywood sandwich and a wood tool. Marked out some dimensions of holes at the sides of the firewall in preparation to cutting rusted metal away. Cut away rusted corner of the seat riser after marking locating dimensions for the patch piece.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
