Time for update.....
Got my Rampage back from Rod Crafters a couple of weeks ago.
I am very happy with the results of the metal work that Larry and his guys did so here are some pics.
New passenger side floor that is a duplicate of the original floor:
I decided to leave the plating that my original chassis guy did for the drivers side and Larry's guys did their floor work from underneath (no pic of that):
Front frame rails boxed in, ring welded in to strenghting the coilover mount, holes filled and box made for turbo / downpipe:
New parachute / pushbar mount....still needs to be finished. I don't like the angle of the chute mount so that will be changes to about 45*
New left side head restraint, remounted chute lever (originally in the roof and very awkward to operate) and new steering quick release (old one was hex and very sloppy....new one is a Woodward, splined and rock solid):
Now comes the fun of cleaning the underside, engine bay, inside cab and then putting on the coating that Udo Horne used on his Bonneville Bugeye:

Talking with a couple of engine builders and transmission guys so I am progressing and will be ready for Wilmington next April.
Let me know what you guys think.
