Ok well after my break today I made a large amount of progress on the jeep. I have everything but a small out of sheet metal i had to pull back to weld in the brackets welded in then i have to make 2 end caps and phase 2 of this is done. I will be ordering the TNT stiffeners before I do the 1x1 tie ins and then skin the bottom to make these actual boat sides.
