Default Lower quarters

I decided to finally cut my lower 1/4s I wasn't exactly sure how I wanted em until I got into and experimented as I went but all and all I love the way they came out , I'm gonna incorporate a custom tube bumper into ,it was a little of a pain in the *** but they came out good , I'll get a few more pics up later

that works to. what did you do with the floor area. i might follow your lead and tie it all in back there because that would make a great down tube point with the HD engineering shackle box

the passenger side was easy ill post up a pic of the inisde , there was plenty of room to weld and reniforce it , the driver side not as much cause of the gas filler neck , i got it pretty strong on that side , but i might cut out the stuff for the filler neck do what i gotta do then reweld it back in , i went over everything with a heavy duty seam seal to insure no elements get in
