Occasionally I wonder, why I endeavour to present a concise sumarization of the photographic depictions.

I think the comma is in the wrong place Grin and summarization has two emms
Brilliant thread by the way.

Thank you.
While the comma is somewhat debateable, I believe that I am correct, putting the emphasis on the word, why. The erroneous spelling of the word, summarisation, is completely due to my own negligence and for that, I shall flagellate myself profusely. Grin

In fact both the commas are entirely unneccessary;  they are in fact aberrant commas, which is an interesting thing to see as I have only ever previously encountered aberrant apostrophes.

I didn't want to point out the first comma as I wasn't sure. I was referring to the second one. I bow to your superior knowledge.
Olds, you need to get your act together Roll Eyes
Still a brilliant thread though. Can we go back to the build now please?

My grammer skills are virtually non existant but enough of this frivolity.

Panel made to join it all together.   I want to add some reinforcement to the underside of the tunnel in a couple of places such as, where the handbrake will be mounted, so it's not welded to the chassis yet.

Realised that what would once have been done in a day, has taken four ! Sad

 Smiley Thanks folks.
Using only hand tools is a bit harder and does tend to take longer, but I am happy with the way it's working out.
It's as near as I can get it to how it would have come from the factory, including the stiffening swages on the kick panel.
The rear floor sections should now fit correctly, instead of being tilted up at the back.

even if you did have access to pro-tools i'd still be in awe of your work.

big respect. i've worked out my limits, body building is not one of them.

Oops made a bit of a blunder.  Embarrassed  I was so concerned about getting everything right at the back end of the tunnel, that I hadn't noticed at the front, it didn't quite sit high enough into the  floor support/crossmember. Widthwise it was fine but there was a 1/4" or so gap at the top.
Had to stretch the tunnel upwards. Think I have almost managed to make it look like it is supposed to be like this. Undecided
