D91-92: Floor

I know I haven't been posting much recently, but training has been taking over my time. I've also been working on a new bike rack for my daily driver. Maybe I can post on that later.

Here's a quick update on the the last couple days of work. I've been collecting 16 awg sheet for a while now every time I go to the yard for scrap. I miscalculated a little and ended up with enough for 3/4 of a floor. I know it's likely overkill, but I'll feel comfortable knowing nothing is going to pop through while driving. Plus, if you are going to add extra weight, might as well be as low as possible. I've fully welded one side, and will weld 1" sections on the top side as well. I'm still trying to figure out how to best eliminate the "bong".
With the frame upside down, I've taken the opportunity to continue finish welding the frame. It always surprises me how much time it takes to finish weld everything.

On a random note, I found out that a guy I work with used to run a fiberglass shop in another life and offered to help whenever I get to the body work.
