Boat sides are coming along , got the passenger side tacked in and the floor welded up , still have to finish the ends and fill in some of the areas inside.

headed to Red9 Fab. this afternoon for some tube and will start on the cage soon .....

Thinking about dove tailing ....... hummmmm !

Booo. The rust bucket is fine, but don't ditch the Jimmy. IT keeps you warm and dry when wheeling and you really could drive it any time. Not so much for the other....

OK I've decided that the Jimmy is staying put for now , may swap axles into the Jeep if it holds up motor wise .

Got a few things done over the week end , not as much as I would have liked but with kids sports ...... I haven't had a lot of free time .

Frame fix .... check :

Tube fenders bent and tacked and both boat sides tacked up :

Started on the cage , as you can see , I'm going for the low look.

Still have to finish tube work , RR front pass. leaf spring , exhaust need some attention. and right now the gas tank is un hooked and sitting in the back. I'm either going to get a cell and sink it into the floor or sink the stock tank into the floor ..... decisions decisions . Should be ready for paint by the week end .
