| The rolling frame is fairly complete. We will run the brake lines and install the drive shaft. |

| The block hugger headers are cool for a mustang or something but I think we will modify some other headers to go outside the frame rails. Why work in so close when there is a ton of room outside the frame? |

| I like the sparks and noise in our shop. |
 |
| The underside of the body, inside the cab and inside the bed are now sandblasted. When it is all straightened out, we will POR15 it. Thanks to the guys at Ideal Distributing for their wise council. |

| The only real rust was these floor supports that were almost gone. |
 |
| See the air where metal used to be? |
 |
| Little patch panels here and there to fill the holes. |

| Vacuuming the rust and dust and sand |

| This is the passenger side body mount support area. This is the only rusty areas that we found, but it was on both sides. |
 |
| Patch panels. We will treat the rust before we put the patches on. |

Arc welding uses an electrical arc between an electrode and the subject material and at the same time melting them together to create a strong bond or a weld. Arc welding is extensively used in industrial applications because it's economical. The problem with the arc process is that sometimes welds can become brittle and weak due to oxygen and nitrogen present in the atmosphere. To overcome this problem, shielded gas such as hydrogen, argon and helium are used.
