It's being continued. Had to work through some deep details.

Here's the photos from fitup today.

A Pillars and B Pillars tacked together.




Made a offset mount for the dashbard's cross bar, so the front cross bar can fit.


Image of mount.


Current photo as of this afternoon.

Since there's a cross bar in the front, now the gauge cluster needs a new home.

It's all really rough at this point, but I trimmed the black molding of the cluster, and glued on a plexiglass sheet. That way, it sits in a smaller footprint. Now onto mounts. I changed out burnt out bulbs with LED's in the meantime.

@Spunk

thank you for putting content out... I'm stuck doing a bathroom remodel and this is helping my sanity.

The COVID-19 problem has forced a break. Once the world opens back up again, I'll weld again.



Three notable things have occurred.
1. Drove it for 20-30 miles to a temporary storage place, got some good thumbs up on the highway.
2. A Tubing bender has been ordered. More tubing needs to be bent. JD2 Model 32. Everything is 6.5" CLR on this one.
3. Weldable paint has arrived--Steel-it. Yeah, this weldable paint is worth the money.

Upcoming: Sourcing more 2" tubing. The warehouse was two sticks short, so I'll buy more of them once all this blows over--I have plenty of 1-3/4 for filler though, so I'll be welding up the overhead and rear areas until I can buy the 2".

Done some floor tubing, and that’s on instagram.
Good Mayhem on Instagram: “Left floor tube fitted! Both it and the right floor tube have a slightly upswept bend in the front to facilitate two things: welding access…”

Meanwhile, here’s a vid on the upcoming overhead tubing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07mJQ8lXnQQ&feature=youtu.be

Here's some photos of the four new tubes that have been fitted.

Where did you source the Steel-it paint? First look led me to believe it could only be purchased by the case at over $300. BTW... looking good man!
