Pictures as promised.
Frame stripped of all extra brackets and stuff.
Note pile in center, that is grinding dust.
Rear cross member is off it will be replaced.
Some idiot cut windows into the frame so they could nut and bolt the skid plate, will need to fix that.
If you look carefully you can see the whole inner wall of the frame is rusted away.
More rust, front spring perch.
It will be taken off and the frame plated.
Same as above, rear spring perch area.

Well the frame is done, welded, cleaned.
Painted with POR15 and rubberized underbody.
Took advantage of the warm weather.
Will put the body on for the last time and start reassembly.

Thanks Rich.
Now the really difficult part starts.
Trying to figure out what is missing ?
What wires were cut and why ?
Where everything goes ?
