Re: The "Hoopty Jr" Project

I cut the upper seat rail off the front side so it would not stick out too much.

Unbolted it from the truck and began the welding. Unbolted it all and welded all the pieces together. I had planned on removing the bolts after it was welded up, but my sloppy welds made that not happening, so I ground down the bolt heads on the rear of the brackets so the angle sits flush to the seat. An old piece from a squeeze mop gave its life to be the bracket for the seat adjuster cable.
