Rockers

Yes I fabricated the rockers out of two pieces to make an inner and outer rocker. I made the rocker deeper to simulate the screw on cover that was hiding the original rockers.

I have an old woodward fab hand crank bead roller that I got about 10 years ago. It does the job but I am looking to upgrade to a Mitler Brothers or Baliegh powered bead roller some day.

Almost ready to fabricate floor pans
Got the rockers installed permanently and fabricated the center floor brace so I can start designing the floor pans.

I like the clecos alot - the panels I am making I would take on and off many times when I was fitting the panels and it made it a lot quicker and easier than using self tapping screws. I had a couple ares on the tunnel that I needed more clamping pressure so I used the self tapping screws but usually the clecos are great.

C-Notched rear frame with a sweeping curve to appear factory instead of the industrial look of rectangular tubing
