Re: 55.1 S10 swap Gypsum

V2.9




changes incorporated from originals include: fully cutting the center hole rather than making an extra step for 80% of kit users (still saving the cutouts for the 20%), bending rear closeouts 90 degrees to make a strong 3 part joint in the center of the mounts, moving center running board mount 1/2", measure once cut twice for me apparently, although I made this mistake on a calculator without actually measuring so maybe that should be measure nonce. built the jig for welding, its surprising how many requests I get for fully welded parts on a weld on kit.

i will tack and plop the cab on today, this weather is crazy, 106 yesterday 103 today. my garage faces west and so its unbearable even inside at 3-4 oclock. getting a lot of ancillary kit parts designed in the down time though, motor mount setbacks, motor mounts, adjustable trans mounts. I sent the cab/running mount designs to the laser cutter even though the rest isnt done yet, so they can get used to them being around haha.
