I got a little done on the one side , I have the other corner made just not fitted yet . built new frame work inside nothing welded yet just fitting everything first . also desided I did not like the tunnel for the drive shaft so I cut it out so I could build another . spent the day working on my 1/4 eliptic springs

both corners are on and the and tacked in the  fit is not to bad . now a lot of welding to do . the sheet metal I think is 16 gauge pretty heavy , but it welds good . making the radius was easier than I thought .
