Hey thanks a lot bear.
I had planned on finishing up my 4 link today until I forgot I used 2 of my end links and 4 of my tabs for it to build my engine mounts. I'm gunna have to get some more ordered this week. Instead I opted to work on finishing my floor pan. I guess I could have just welded some sheet metal in and made it meet at a 90 degress angle and had a big corner but I really don't like the look of that. Not that it's wrong to go that route but it's just one of those little things that bothers me. To each his own though.
So I cut a lot out of my trans tunnel and left about an inch below the bend in it. After that I started cutting out pieces of 18 gauge and putting a nice round bend in it. I really want it to all be slightly rounded. Over to of the drive shaft tunnel I'll probably make it a completely round piece like a piece of tubing cut in half type of look. All of it will be made from a new sheet of 18 gauge though. I almost skimped to save a few bucks and went with 20 gauge but since the floor pan provides a lot of rigidity to the cab I went ahead and spent the extra few bucks on the thicker stock.
I didn't get a lot done but what I did get done I'm really happy with. I plan on getting all welded in and trimmed up and than once I pull the cab again I can trim and weld it from the under side also and than ill cover all the joints with seam sealer and cover all of it with rubberized under coating.
I also snapped a couple of day light pictures of it layed out also.

I still need to get some picked up. With this holiday I've been out of town since Tuesday night and I'm still in stl right now. I tried calling you a while back to see about getting parts but all I had was a cell number you gave me a long time ago. If you'll be around I'll hit you up this week.
99 I should be home late tonight. I'm refusing to leave until the Alabama game goes off lol. I'll try giving you a call first thing in the morning or tonight if it's not to late.
