It's a God Given Talent.......

Lighten Up Francis !!
It was meant in good fun....

[SuperBuickGuy]

time to make it level.... and drag out the stands

then weld it yesterday's part and this into place




this creates the floor for the cargo area and also allows me to run cross braces that tie through it to the frame

[Captain]

Groovy!! :-)

also looks like it beefs up the rear axle "Kick Up" in the frame

[SuperBuickGuy]

tire stripping earlier today

easy


time to weld the cross brace together


and remove this inner wall


removed

I think the braces will look like this then cut the middle out so I can put the battery in the battery box (that will be behind the chassis brace)


I need another bracket solution... think the alternator is going to move to the other side


my virus hidaway

[SuperBuickGuy]

let there be paint


so the V... is so I can put the battery behind the brace


chop chop


tack tack


weld weld


paint paint



more chop chop



mostly it's there because I needed to weld the bar - but any extra space behind the seat is a good thing. tomorrow, floor

[SuperBuickGuy]

battery box issues

and it can get through the hole...


but I dunno, I've threatened before to put it in the engine compartment - but even there has issues (too close to heat)...

[Deaf Bob]

Derby style, passenger floorboard... .

[Captain]

Oh Daaaamit !!

[SuperBuickGuy]

CAD




and battery box

[silver_bullet]

Have seen some use two of these in series when faced with the issues you are having....

[SuperBuickGuy]

time to make it real
but first, a brake repair



now I can bend
to be honest, I haven't decided if ribs are necessary


the tonight project is fill these holes


battery box


and there it is... means the 'floor' is a bit taller, but since that area is pretty much useless once the roll bar is in place.... no biggie

[SuperBuickGuy]

inner mud flaps



this represents where I'm going with the flooring

[ejs262]

I need to make some similar mud flaps for my car, looking good!

[SuperBuickGuy]

continued on the back undershelf


and worked on the upper radiator mount


now to weld and bolt it in place


I plan on gluing it all down when it's done... rivets and epoxy.

[SuperBuickGuy]

maybe I should rename this Covette19
