Several months (years?) ago I had to cut out the trans tunnel to further clear the 700R4 transmission. I went ahead and tack welded the new panels in place back some time ago but I still needed to weld the entire perimeter. With the body off the chassis I was able to finish the welding in this area. I then shot some black primer on it to keep the rust at bay.
I'm hopping back and forth between the body and chassis and with the chassis stripped and basically completed, minus the primer and paint, I decided that I needed to put it on a rotisserie, So I pulled out the one I had made about 17 years ago for another project and spent a day modifying it to fit the frame.
The plan is to have it sandblasted and then prime it with epoxy and then use some black Raptor 2K bedliner on it. I have already contacted a mobile media/sandblaster that will come out and strip it once we get a break in all the rain. While waiting for that to occur I am working refinishing all the other parts...suspension, rearend, etc that attach to the frame.
