Got the floor panels all fitted.











The structure for the flat bed. Body will be held on by magnets.







Moved the shocks, not sure how they're going to work but it feels good on the bench.






The wood deck and the trimming. Needs to be stained and painted yet.







Still need to make the side rails too.



Looking Nice Super! A Ford too.... I knew you'd come around.... lol.

It's a Ferd only cuz they couldn't find the Chevy body style they wanted. Even Super's kid knows Chevys rule! It's still pretty sweet lookin' though.

Looks like you got a good start of a home course there. Keep in touch on here. I think we will have a good group of guys around south central wi this year. We have several places to go crawling here in Sauk county but would always be good to find more.

Someone posted elsewhere about going up next weekend, but I think we should wait till things dry up some. Then well put together a good days worth of fun. I was just there with the dog today for a walk. Its gonna be a mess up there for a little while.

Im assuming you guys remember the ravine with the waterfalls, well everything is frozen over right now and my damn dog ran right up the first fall. I wasn't about to follow him. I don't even know how he got up it

Was there yesterday, too much snow for me. I was at Redgranite today, 2" covering everything. So that was a wasted trip.

Back to the basement for another month.
