So Pablo, since you got your frame brace, I guess you don't want the one, I got all boxed waiting to ship to you.
Thanks

Ron,
I am sorry about this lapse on my part. Things are busy at work. I found the replacements, thought they would require less fab work, ordered them, and then failed to follow up with you.
My apologies.
I will still take this, or we can ship to Claudia.

Some more pics from the weekend:
Better pics of the frame diagonals welded in and straightened rear cross-member (it was bowed in a little)

Pics of the new rear tub, working on the cut and lip for rear wheel opening.
I flipped the rear spring pack to move the rear axle back. A lot of lifted 40's I see have the rear wheels stuffed into the front of the wheel opening. I want this to look nice and centered, with a factory look.

Ige, do you have any side shots of that wreck?
Wondering how far forward it got hit...
unfortunately, i lost a lot of the pics when old computer crashed. here's a couple. it was hit right behind the front axle by a green dodge caravan.

Ha! Okay, I'll try that last post again...
These running boards aren't worth the sand we used on them!
I located a set locally though, so onward we go.

I discovered a great resource with Gusb's restoration thread, wish he started this thread before I started rebuilding my tub 6+ years ago!
He spec'd out brackets for the inner rocker panels:

Looks like I never got pictures of the ambi-doors posted when I put up the "before" pictures.
I am starting to think about what to do with old pieces from my 40, like the tub, front fenders, ambi-doors, running boards, etc.
I have tentative interest in the ambi-doors, so here are the best pics that I have right now:
