The first pic. Is that the extent of the welding you did on it or is that just a shot before you were done? Thing looks good.

Nice one Danny

Must have been fun welding the thin tub thickness to the thick chassis section though.

Are you going to put any type of seat back there?

Roughly what angle are the 4 links to the horizontal at ride height? Any idea?

I`m happy to see you shaving that lower bodyline.... but you should make those spotwelds more evenly spaced along the filler strip. Gotta Loose that rear liciense plate hole also....

hey Darren i did but i lost that photo of when i was done welding and the lin. plate is already gone man. ive already done this but the original door was rusted on the bottom lip and this was a better fix than replacing 8 in. of the door due to rust.
