Haha, I love the fact that your intentions were to place it out of harms way for while to attend to other projects and you have come so far. My buddy is making some white grape/rasberry wine if you need more meds for the wife!
Lol, great job.

Re: plow patrol 2.0
Anyone want some hops? I grew, vac-packed and froze some two seasons ago. I will not get around to brewing so free hops need a home.

Re: plow patrol 2.0
I had a few minutes spent about 1/2 on this . more time was spent on the cardboard pattern...
I have not given up on vents yet... so we'll see what happens.. 16ga, snips, electric shears, 4" flat pliers, hammer and a chunk of railroad rail..

Re: plow patrol 2.0
OK all...... I need some input. I'm working on the front floors right now. I'm attempting to make a separate "floor" like the factory but I don't have a lot to work with..how poorly would I be looked upon if I welded the floors to the firewall. Like a normal truck or jeep? basically making a "tub". I understand it will be more difficult to remove the trans and transfercase in the future. but I'm out of ideas, that I can accomplish.. Can anyone think of a major issue I will have in the future? I really don;t want to pull the firewall. I will still keep the back tub separate, just the firewall will be permanently attached to the floor. I can then make the entire area much more rigid..
input....

Re: plow patrol 2.0
I think that's probably your best option. I don't see it causing any problems when pulling the trans, usually just the trans hump comes off for that. Go for it. 
Beyond any hope for intervention

Re: plow patrol 2.0
I did a quick color test.. This is Ford Red.. I'm not sure , I'd prefer a darker read but I have a gallon of it. I have a gallon of grey also but only a quart of Ford Blue... The blue is almost the same color of the stock engine block..
