Removing the inner rocker and left side of the toe board. Added another turnbuckle before cutting the rocker out so I could adjust the height of the body mount area.

I made the inner rocker in two pieces. I used the english wheel to pre-stretch the bead rolled areas to avoid distortion.

Started on the braces that attach to or around the inner rocker. This one is the front floor/body mount brace that also goes up the inside of the kick panel. The deep recess with a curve in the middle made it a challenge. I wasn't able to stretch the center enough to make it in once piece so I used two pieces and formed the inner recess over a wooden/bondo buck. I'll make the top part from a separate piece and weld them together.
