I still have to weld the Zedd Findings rail on, then remove the front frame rail and weld in the new one, then overlay the bad dog frame rail over both! Should be pretty strong when I'm done...

June 17, 20168 yr Author comment_497027 I will! I remember your tips from before! However, there is still a lot of welding and grinding to go before I get the whole pan ready for 'smoothing'. There are a lot of weak seams still and too many holes to just fill yet. I will do another round of weld stitching first....

June 17, 20168 yr Author comment_497029 For sure. The passenger doesn't need near as much modding to fit the tunnel. The driver side was not formed to fit the 76 catalytic converter option.
