[QUOTE="Sparky, post: 209212, member: 4433"] Flintcreek, Thanks for the kind words as well. Yes I did all the aluminum work. I removed all factory bench seats. I built an alumunium frame (e.g., like a stick built house) that is anchored to the hull cross braces. Rivets were used to hold the components in place. Aluminum studs were placed about every 12-16 inches. Not sure why I did not take a picture of that stage. I used Dura Fix rods. It took a little time to get the hang of it, but it works as advertised. The weld is strong. I would recommend that most folks seek out a welder if they can find one at a reasonable price. [/QUOTE]
