Took today off to get a big chunk done. Here's four hours worth of work.
Passenger's side done
Started tracing fancy curved brackets for body mounts... then just did this
They actually had to be hammered in (pass side needed an 1/8" shim), so we'll see if they stay in place once the body starts moving on the trail
Metal work on the back is done! Turned around to get to the front
I HATE RUST!!!
Hit it with the flapper wheel to see what I was dealing with then cut out the worst spots
Then probably an hour later I had them all filled

Thanks guys.
Meh, it's good practice for me, and a nice rig for whoever buys it... and with any luck I'll play with it a little to make sure it's all good before spring. The bridge is going in on the trail as soon as the frost is out of the ground... the goal will be to see if the Tracker can make it around by itself. Should be fun!

Thank you!
Forgot to mention; in my excitement for progress I forgot to prime and paint the back and top of that 2x2.
I'll do what I can reach and spray some rust check to seep into the rest.

I venture to guess that 2x2 will last longer then the rest of the vehicle but I get where you're coming from.
