I'm floored

Finished cutting and tacking in the floor panels today, and was able to flip the chassis over to begin stitch welding the floor pans and Aussie reinforcement plates in place. You might also notice that I left the nose gussset wide at the front such that the front lower transverse framerail (where the bottom front suspension pickup is) is gusseted with the same piece. Not sure if this will do anything, but it won't hurt anything.


Also cut and tacked the footbox ends in place.



Welding really takes it out of you when you're wearing long pants and sleeves and working in a hot garage. I still need to weld most of the floors. Fortunately, that work is quiet enough to do during the weeknights so hopefully I'll be working on seats, pedals, and/or steering next weekend.
