Front and rear axles are all done minus the driveshafts and rear brakes. Got started on the flatbed.

Since I have just been somewhat making the rear rails up as I go I have ran into a snag. Im not sure to just leave the 90* angle as is or cut it out and continue the 45* of the wheel well up to the top rail. A 45* on the outside of rail looks too cluttered.

I think it looks great either way but it would look even better if the upper angle met and lined up with the wheel well 45.

Thanks!

I ended up cutting the 90* out and making it a 45*. So that makes the bed frame done, just a matter of closing in the wheel wells, mounting the fuel tank and installing the driveshafts and this thing should be moveable. That will happen by the weekend with any luck.

Bed is done, tank is mounted and driveshafts are in. Just needs fuel lines, rear brake line capped off and check for rear driveshaft binding and install limit chains if needed and this pile of scrap will be able to move! Hopefully some better outside pics when that does happen.
