Thank you, Jonah. The sliders are pretty much where you see them there. I expect to make some slight adjustments, drill some holes, etc., but I think I've got those figured out. The other stuff I've been prototyping and experimenting with before I go "live."
Besides that, I've cut windows in the sheet metal to weld the rollcage (so much for easy access). I cut more sheet metal off because it was wrinkled, and because the sides of my tub aren't straight. Now I'm building *something* in the voids between the sheet metal at the B-pillar. I'm adding onto the existing B-pillar feet, putting some 3/16" steel in the void to help augment the B-pillar frame tie-ins *someday*.
What's worse, I'm building some vertical B-pillar body reinforcement with hinges on the aforementioned floor structures. Why hinges? Because those vertical structures will tie into the roll cage via 1/2" fine-threaded bolts/ nuts which will make the angle of the B-pillar body structure adjustable. They haven't been straight since my first rollover.
Well, I was just going to take a picture and say a few words, but (since I don't have a picture) there you go.
Jonah, if you're still awake , what does IMS charge for cutting? I would be hauling it in my Saab (it hates me). I have some 14 ga (?) or so I'd intended for my tunnel, but I could use some thinner stuff for the sides. I've had some success heating and hammering it flat, but I think new sheet metal would be better all around.
EDIT: I just reread your post. 24x36 would be the easiest sheet metal that poor car has ever hauled. I need to move quick on it, preferably tomorrow or Saturday (if it's open).
