I couldn't quite see over Banco Bonito this evening to check your progress from a distance, but I did get a decent twilight photo looking in your direction from the north slope of Los Griegos:

The footman loops are stock as far as I know. The jack would have been secured in a clamshell strap type mount under the seat. I don’t have the mount that would have been bolted to the floor. I don’t know for sure how the tool roll would been secured. I will have research that.Were the footman loops, under the driver seat, from the factory? I guess that I never considered how a 45 driver's seat can't rotate back, and the tools wouldn't be in a flip lid box? Do you know where the jack and the tool roll would originally go?
That really looks amazing with the GM parts. One thought while you are at this stage. I always felt that the space on the driver footwell was small, and with the different tranny setup, you should have a bunch of room there -- anyway, I moved this section over a couple inches and will make the accelerator mounting much easier.

Really nice blending and fab work there. Inspirational. Can’t wait to see the final draft.I have been working the transmission cover and that little part that covers the center diff. lock took some work and some head scratching. I had considered two other options before arriving at what is pictured. I still have to do some finish work on it and add the mounting flange around the bottom. I happy with how it has turned out to this point.View attachment 2722758

You think you are going to make SAS?
Unfortunately I am not going to make it. After injuring my knee I had to slow down on the long late nights working in the garage. After falling off the pace I realized I wouldn't be able to get it together enough for the trip. I really have to focus on getting my knee fixed for work and the soonest appointment I could get with the specialist is August 5th. The knee is my priority, so I am not going to make it even it I took my 80. I passed my spot on SAS5 to another member already. My new goal is to have it driving by the end of this year at least.
I don't know if you do instagram, but there is a guy on there - "kneesovertoesguy" and he has programs and exercise for knee strengthening. The number of positive reviews and testimonials from people that have followed his program is astounding. He really knows his stuff. Worth a look.Unfortunately I am not going to make it.
