Well...I've Stepped In It Now!
After much planning, researching, and gathering of the nads to do it- I've finally started hackin' the LWB down to a shorty. I'm using the guidelines that Rckrln posted and so far it is going fairly well. However, without the steel floor to hold stuff together, unsupported sheet metal can get to whippin' around as a result of some thrilling sawz-all action! I've posted pics for your viewing pleasure and will keep updating as I progress.
Wish me luck ya'll !!!

Looks like a great start...you have tackled the most difficult section first.

Re: Well...I've Stepped In It Now!
Looking good so far just remember to tripple check your fitment before welding. Get one side all clamped up then look down the side to make sure it is not bowed in or out before you tack it all. Then after it is tacked look again and if it is not just right cut the tacks loose and start over. Trust me the time you spend now will be nothing if you get to the body work part and then find the problems.

Re: Well...I've Stepped In It Now!
no offense, but your cuts look crookid as sh*t... Seems like it'll be hard to weld it all up easily without filling alot.
