I stopped off the morning and picked up some steel. Where I buy, they sell for scrap prices, but what they have is what they have. You sometimes have to go by there several times until you can find exactly what you're looking for.
In this case I got a piece of 1/4" plate for the step notch parts, a piece of 16 gauge plate for various other things, and enough thick wall 2" tubing to do one of my two link bars. I'll have to start stopping in there periodically until I find another suitable piece. For the prices, its worth the hassle.
Today I've been working on the firewall to make some changes for tire clearance. Awhile back I had gotten a non AC setup, inside and out. Today I've been welding up the firewall and fitting the factory non AC setup. So far it looks good.
