Slowly getting there. Made new bottom section for bulk head, all welded now. Front floor only had the outside 1/3 sections, so made up some other section which were also rusted.front floor section tacked in place will full weld once doglegs are on.
Toolbox floor section welded.
Still need to clean up welds and straighten but its all coming together slowly
Rear floor trail fit converting from lhd to rhd.
