Day 40 - Wheelhouse 2 and Rear cross member

Today Travis finished up the Driver side wheel well while I fabricated 2 end pieces for the rear cross member.




The ends were pretty rusted so on the passenger side, I formed 1 piece by hand trying to get the contour right.



The driver side I used 3 individual pieces welded together to form the contour.

After we welded them into place; I ground down the welds and painted the rear cross member with POR-15.


As that was drying, I started on the outer wheel house. To get a better view of the wheel house, I cut around the wheel house to expose the welds. This is where it gets a little scary.
