Left rear frame rail is welded on
Lifted the body welded main hoop to frame
Tacking the main hoop in place before final welding was more difficult to do alone than I anticipated
I took the time to fit the bar to the frame but didn’t bother doing anything to the frame other than wire brushing it
You know the point where you get excited when you start taking shortcuts because you want to get the sh*t done guilty your honor
I did get the penetration I wanted but the dirt and rust did nothing for my welds enjoy
While the bodies in the air I’m going to hit the frame wire wheel and sand it down close to bare metal as I can get it and por 15 and chassis black the whole thing

Here is your update I’ll give you a quick rundown
Waiting on my 2nd driver side floor pan patch panel first one looked like FedEx drove over it
Body is back on the frame cage is nice and tight to roof used summit racing body bushing kit
I recommend would use it again
Installed swing out drive side bar
Made a steering shaft using speedway stuff
For the rear I went with the S60 by strange won’t see it till late June because of this I moved to other projects
Pushed car outside I did paint the cage before it left the bay
So I changed the engine and converter in my 1985 MC to start the year off
I was able to start my 1986 F150 project
Have 7 small blocks to finish
