Rear tray is all done now

Finished off as much strength as I think it needs

Next step is seam weld the bumper on and straighten it, and make it stronger, then clean all the stone chip of the chasis, mod the rear shock mounts.

Then I will turn my attention to the cab, then bed, then towards a rolling chassis

I've got all the sound deadening out of the white floor pan too took ages !!

Going to have some days off to move forward with this thing

I cheated :)

Got bags of ice and left it there, then just chips away really easy once it's cold

Used to do it on skylines :)

Got the day of Friday to get it blasted !! Finerly !!

Got a day off tomorrow

Got a plan together of how to attack this, should be nice and quick

Won't be as neat as my red truck, but this will be used in competition so doesn't need to look pretty, just needs to work
