Sub'd your weld/fabrication work is amazing

We split some trailer fenders from northern and welded a strip in the middle to make our wheel tubs

[Jimfred]

What's sub'd?
I'm old

After cutting so much of the wheel tub we had to move the door latch and modify the door

We were able to make the handle and lock linkage work on the inside but the outside we'll have to use a electric switch with a solenoid because the handle covers the mechanical push button

Since we cut the trunk pan completely out we had to build a frame to hold the fuel tank and sheet metal

We were able to make a compartment on both sides 1 for battery and the other can fit compressors and air management

I was able to put the gas cap in the stock location and I welded in a 3"X1/4" thick piece of angle to protect the fuel tank while dragging

The firewall was another pain in the ass,we needed to keep the steering,brake pedal,master cylinder and transmission tunnel in the same location
