That New Floorboard

Getting ready to start on the new floorboards.



First we made a template for the new piece.



Transferred the template to 16 gauge steel and cut out with a plasma cutter.



Then we went to the bead roller and used a tipping dye to make a .5" lip on the back side of the panel. This will be used to attach the panel to the back of the cab. Then we used some step dyes for some good looks and to give some strength to the panel. We drilled hole through the panels and the tubing and used clecos to hold the panel flat. Then removed one cleco at a time and welded up the hole.



This is after the welds were ground off and sanded.



Next up the seat placement.
