Ardenne and I got back from the Razorback Ramble and Devin and his son Trent had made some killer progress. Guess stuff goes a little better without me there!! They have gotten the front body mounts fabbed up and welded in place. Still need to box them in a little
Driver's side floorpan and driver's side and center firewall are close to done
Seats and console will come out as one unit to allow access to the tcase and tranny.
The floor is also built up to allow for drivetrain clearance as well as to allow the floor to be washed out easier
From the engine compartment
How she looks from the front

When you told me at the Ramble you were building a runner I was thinking you were just going to throw some tires under it and call it a day.
Well... I guess I was wrong
Sweet ride and nearly finished!

Motorcycle that I've always wanted. Nice dual sport bikes that have quite a following kinda like our cruisers. The guy who bought mine already has 7 of them.

Working on skinning the floor area behind the seats out and we decided that we had better get the battery box made since it mounts under the rear passenger seat.
Cut it out and bent it up:
Added some scallops for drainage and welded it up:
Added the hold down brackets:
We tacked it in and just have to burn it in. Plenty stout since its made out of 3/16 or 1/4" plate. Should take a hit if it accidentally takes a shot from a rock.

Battery box came out great!
I like the hold down. Is there a hold down on other side of each battery as well?

Nope, the sides and the center hold down keep it secured down low and the the center hold down plate holds it tight. I was kinda skeptical at first but Devin told me to shut up and wait to see. He was right again. After it was done and the batteries secured, I tred to shake, knock and twist them loose. Couldn't budge them!!!
Cool !I was hoping you would say that ! I may have to steal that design. I hate the bar across the top typical hold down.

Notched the frame for the hydraulic steering line
Welded the battery box in
Mounted the rear suck down winch
And then boxed the front body mounts in and worked on the firewall a little
