[QUOTE="smc4wd, post: 1481106, member: 18999"] Today we had gotten soo much accomplished!! And some help from [B]Bobby Long![/B] :cheer: First, here's the picture of the finished bracket. [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=334&pictureid=2582[/IMG] While my buddy Aaron was fabbing up the Bobby Long surprise, I had a chance to finish up all the plumbing on the coolers... [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=334&pictureid=2585[/IMG] The radiator is next. I picked up some .125 aluminum that we're going to make a shroud out of. We also used a chunk of it for the center console Aaron was about to put to good use from Mr. Long himself!! This is a beautiful piece of work and solves my worries that the auto shifter was going to be down to low. So here's alot of pictures of the fabbing stages... This first picture was taken a bit late into the fabbing. After figuring out how and where it will look good, we cut out the center stereo and vent/defrost/heat controls and cigarette light and ash tray. [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=334&pictureid=2588[/IMG] Then we tucked it in to see how it would look. [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=334&pictureid=2581[/IMG] It would look awesome if I threw a 19" LCD and an Xbox in there. :awesomework: It's TIG welded stainless steel... Not Aluminum! The plate is, but this whole piece is awesome stainless!! :awesomework: Aaron cut up some aluminum. [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=334&pictureid=2580[/IMG] We ran to McClendon's for some fancy hardware. Swirled the plate up some. [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=334&pictureid=2584[/IMG] and we got an idea of how awesome this is going to look. Also worked to strengthen it up while cutting on this masterpiece had to be done. Some cutting from the floorboard and T/C shifter had already begun. [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=334&pictureid=2583[/IMG] Here's the cuts that needed to be done to clear the T/C shifter. [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=334&pictureid=2587[/IMG] I see that I didn't get pictures of one crucial part of this process. The shifter lever was so over and stuck under my knee that we had to pull it out (for like the umptheen time) and heat it and almost straighten it and bend it in. The later pictures should show how low and down it is. [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=334&pictureid=2586[/IMG] to end, the hole was made to get an idea on the heater controls... We looked at where the stereo, ARB switches, maybe some light and/or winch controls... [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=334&pictureid=2590[/IMG] and this last picture... I want cup holders!! So angling this like so gets me two cup holders!! [IMG]http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=334&pictureid=2590[/IMG] We'll be back at it tomorrow :cheer: [/QUOTE]
