I'll probably bring it forward a bit more. Thinking 3.5" is the magic spot.

Nice simple body mount. Need to get my hands on a press brake.

Yep simple and strong as hell. 3/16" HSLA steel body mount brackets. A plasma table and press brake are nice tools to have in the shop.

Got all the spare parts out of the cabin and stored away. I'll pull the headliner this weekend if time allows.
Ron Davis radiator should be here next week too.

A good morning for progress.
Chopped the ass off Dingo and brought out the laser levels for the frame cut lines. Will be stretching the frame 22".
Frame sleeves are designed and will be cut and bent in the morning.
Should be a fun weekend.

Today's task was to chop, inner sleeve and re-skin the frame. 20.5" stretch is where I ended up at with a 132" wheelbase.

Inner sleeve welded , outer skin welded and 16 rosettes. Not to include ~80" of dual lap corner edge for 3/8" thickness on top and bottom of frame.
Not my best work, but it'd take a couple of D10s on each end pulling to separate this frame.....

1st inner pass

I decided to put a rear glass in for when the boxes aren't installed.
TRAIL TAILOR
or
TEQ
The glass shop can etch these for me. I ordered the dual lock weatherstrip today.
