Thanks guys for the nice thoughts about Scooter. Today she is pretty lethargic but that might be from the antibiotic we are giving her every 12 hours. I sure hope I don't lose her, she's been with me for about 15 years now. Oh well, what will be will be.
It's about 5 AM and Dan and I just got in from a 15 hour day working on his car. We are really seeing some light at the end of the tunnel finally. Our focus right now is on the subframe of the body, and we probably only have a day or two left until we can start putting in the sheet metal on the tunnel and floor.
It's hard to explain all that we did (especially since a shower and bed are calling me
) but essentially, we got the driveshaft hoops done that will support the sheet metal, and also finished up the passenger side bracing for the floor to attach to. Well, almost finished, we still have one more brace to put from the front door jam over to the transmission hump, but that will be a piece of cake.
Dan and I are really excited because it is starting to look like an interior finally. It is super strong and when the sheet metal is tied to it there should be no flex at all.
Here are some pictures of what we got done today.
Picture 1 is the rear hoop we built that ties the rear crossmember to the body. It welds and bolts in so we can remove the back portion of the body if we ever need to.
Picture 2 is after it was welded in and we started to build the side channels of the driveshaft tunnel.
Picture 3 is after the tunnel framework was done being welded into place.
Picture 4 is another view of the tunnel framework.
Picture 5 is the front portion of the subframe that goes along side the transmission. It ties the driveshaft tunnel to the firewall.

Picture 1 is the front of the subframe before we installed anything.
Picture 2 is the front after we got the channels for the floorboards installed.

When I got married my friends asked if my spouse would be taking my name. I had to tell them it would be really silly if we were both named Fred. .
