Parts painted, missing tub fabricated, tub welded in.
Tub took a lot of tucking, trimming, tweaking and swearing. Not perfect, but better than what was there when i started.
Tomorrow, the floor footwell.

Got rained out sunday and today so I couldn't finish the floor. Two days I really can't afford.
Just for the car show I'm very tempted to do the stupid thing and not swap the front frame. It's barely together, I have no idea how it's holding on. But grandpa drove it like that for years, so two more days
We'll see how much time I have left after i get the car on the ground. I'm certainly not fixing the fuel tank in time, it'll be drinking from a jerry can for sure.
I better sort out the title this week too...

Getting there. It's almost 300 inches of welding on that footwell. **** me.
Also getting my diff back was a huge ordeal. Bodyshop guy is my friend but man is he unreliable. I was to pick it up friday but got delayed, and it turns out this week he went on an unnaounced vacation to the moon without telling anyone. Even though he told me last week that his vacation was in september. Had to track down the landlord of the building to get into the yard to pick up my stuff.
Cool.
Also the parts fairy visited again.
Ow my money. Again.
9 Days before the show/hot rod run. I am making this ******* thing if it kills me.
Oh yeah, got some funny stickers for it too.

Floor's done. Braced the rockers totally, started cutting out the very last of the floor.
I intended to finish this smooth, but frankly at this point i want the world to see the 12 hours of welding i put into this thing. 23-1/2 feet of it.
Also the posi in the rear end is incredibly good. Even with my full bodyweight against one wheel I still can't get the posi to slip at all. Must have been rebuilt at some point, no way it's 60 years old.
Tomorrow.
