RR got a new rear under seat pan

[SgtLee511]

Installing my birds rear under seat pan this week, next step will be the trunk pan. I started this build in January, having replaced a inner fender, front frame rail, main floor and the rear footwells. Im just now installing the rear underseat pan, and I've been dealing with rust here and there. I had to cut and weld in some metal from a donor demon roof in some spots like this top rocker on the drivers side. Work is at a crawl its 100 degrees outside:cool:

Thanks for the Pep talk needed tha, machinist just called claiming that i didn't bring him the rear main seal cap, I'm not happy need to rant. First 440 I did this year he said it didn't have a main seal cap, so i bought one. I just bought a 383 from him a month ago, and strangely it was missing the rear main seal cap, and now I carry him the number matching engine of my bird, and he saying it's missing the rear main SEAL cap, and I went out of my way to make sure it was attached with the mains. Seems dam odd......Done ranting, getting heat stroke:soap:

[SgtLee511]

Probably they threw it in the vat and melted it
