Looks great. I can't wait to see it. I've got soccer both days this weekend so I can only visit during the evening if you are free. I hope your neighbors don't mind hearing 100 decibels when I role in. ;D

Hey Scott! My son has soccer from 12:00 to about 1:00 at Windsor Oaks Elem. Going to see Admirals in the eve. Just hanging out tonight if you're in the area... The neighbors would welcome 100 decibels, they're used to open headers this winter! ;D
Later!

Glad you guys could come over Sunday Scott! That's one bad 408 you have in your EB.

Ok, got some more done. I've added a bunch of tabs for tie-down points, welded in the dash bar, up-sized the seat belt bolts and holes and tacked in the rear quarterside body-to-rollcage-tabs. Still need to order dom for rear harness bars and overhead diagonal bars. I'll probably do those when the cage is out while I'm doing paint prep. New body panels (right door striker post and brace panels) are in, so now it's on to body work. I'll probably use tool bags for tool storage and strap them to wheel housings. Nuts work for tie-downs too- BTW-Are Bryan (ONEWYR) and me the only ones building anything around here??? Let's see some pics!!! ;D

Looking good Dave, Hopefully you'll be wheeling by the time I get back and we can get out... I'm looking forward to some ford/toyota rivalry!

Hey Paul! I should have a couple trips (and have any bugs ironed out!) by the time you get back. Are you saying you want to play a little "see if you can follow me" games? heh heh Be safe out there. Here's where I'm at. Welded in the door striker post panel, the brace for that, a floor panel. I've got about 100 rivet holes to weld up on the tailgate area, then treat/clean everything and paint it up. Cage is done, just need to paint.
