Thanks Roger! I am trying to be diligent in my photo taking. Some things I have missed but I have 98% of the build documented in pics on my Fotki site.

Got a bit done this past weekend. Saturday was pretty much a lost cause. Hit a yard sale and picked up an old Sears scroll saw for 5 bucks...

It ran! I had to rewire it, put on a new switch and do a lot of cleaning and some fine tuning but she runs like a champ and I was cutting 1/4" aluminum with it Sunday morning!

Sunday was a pretty good day! Earlier in the week my wife picked up an air conditioner for the shop!

I put it in the window in the machine shop side and it does a FINE job of cooling of the man cave... Do you see what the temp is in the pic? That was at 2 or 3 in the afternoon Saturday and the thermometer outside read 88... Very nice!
We got a good start on the seat mounting frames. I was not at all impressed by the mounting tabs on the provided sliders so thet got cut off.

See that thin little strip of metal that we cut?

THAT is what was supporting my 270 lb bulk. And it didn't do a very good job either. I bent them just trial fitting the seats... They had to go.
We replaced them wih these... 3/16 x 2" angle. This will get welded to both sliders in leau of the pieces we just removed. Welded between the sliders on both ends.

After adding some "character".

We made the floor frames from bent up 3/16 x 2" strip.

The floor frames will bolt to the angles with two bolts on each corner.

I am in the process of designing the triangulation braces. This is what I've come up with. (built out of foam core)
This is the front (I flipped the pic to get it oriented right. We are building these upside down on the jig board) The brace will weld to the floor frame on the outer ends and bolt to the front crossmember with two 3/8 in bolts.

This is the side view. (also flipped) All of this will weld to the floor frame and not effect the seat.

This will made out of 3/16 x 1 and 3/16 x 2 strip.
What do you think? Too busy looking? Once everything is powder coated black I think it will look great!
Thanks for looking
Mark
P.S. The fuel tank is ALMOST DONE! My welder has been picking away at it on his breaks and during lunch. I looked it over today and all he has to finish is a couple small patches for the frame kickups and pressure test and we'll be good. It looks really good and he has done an incredible job of welding up all of that .090 with very little warpage!
I can't wait to get this thing home...
