mid-day break...

the rear is out, all un-needed brackets are removed and an un-needed crossmember. I think over the last 18 hours i've ground and punched out 30+ rivets. i think i'm about done with rivets now. uhg, wait, i have to do the trans xmember yet....

anyways. I also repaired one of the rear braces for the running boards. It was cracked, so i ground it down and welded it up. I only have flux core wire right now, but after a quick grind it doesn't look bad. I need to do the same on the other side too.

I'll post pics later tonight.
