Oh it is white 😊 this is a replacement shell and frame. I plan to get it all fixed up and install a roll bar and then swap the pieces.
This way I can still drive it with less down time.

If you have some good metal around the body mounts on the frame, I would sit them all on top.  One weld around the washers and then grind the weld flush if needed.  Everything "should" should line up body line wise as long as they are all torqued to the same value.  Talk to Charlie about some frame stiffners that he has on his frame.  Real slick!

Yeah I plan on reinforcing it to stiffen it up. Here are the three worse pockets.

Started welding the seams good thing I got a grinder it's been awhile and mig is new to me grew up on a stick welder....

I plan to box the channel and  reinforce the LCA mounts plus mount a tube across the frame at the spring perches.

I feel the same way Larry. Takes a few minutes to get back into the swing of it. Probably wouldn't be that way if we welded every day...

Thanks Dave 😊 I end up measuring the body to locate the pocket under the AC

So I have been keeping my self entertained for the most part. Got 2 pockets repaired and all the seams on the top from the front crossmember back done. I started fitting 4" x1/8 plate to box the frame. Found a spot on the DS rail that's tweaked any suggestions on how to tweak it back?

I can't tell what is tweaked but for flat things I like my big crescent wrench and if needed a cheater pipe for leverage. Or maybe a pipe wrench of you can live with teeth marks in what you are bending.

The bottom edge was tweaked picked up with my floor jack and whacked  it a couple times with a hammer all good now.
Apparently I have to open up the hole I left to get that body mount in the middle one is backwards large portion of the bushing goes on the bottom ?
