Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

About noon yesterday it dawned on me I would need cross support pieces for the flat floor going under the seats. Closest town to us (400 people) has a great welding and manufacturing business that produces livestock equipment. Called the owner who I've known for many years, described what I needed and asked if they could bend me up two pieces out of 16 gauge before the day was over.

No problem he said and an hour later they were done with a bill of only $20. Going to work with him on the back floor on the 'Burb. Really good folks to work with.

Wife sanded the flat steel going in the floor this morning and we were able to weld prime, fit and weld in the support pieces as well. Maybe overkill with two, though it will be solid.
