And an other week has past.

We are still busy with the running boards.
The passenger side board is fully welded.
 And then we started grinding. Firts the welds on the bottom side.
 And then the welds on the top side. The front side has also been worked on with hammer and dolly to get the most big bumps out.
 At the place where we wanted the step plate with chevy logo to go , we cut a hole as large as the plate is. This will re leave the tension that is on the plate.
 But then I had to rebuild my spot welder. The top arm had to get a bigger opening to be able to get it over the edge of the board.
 Then a stainless plate of 3 mm thick that i had laing around was tacked from the under side. This will give a strong hold for the step plate and straightens out the front section of the board.
 This was done to both boards.
 In this picture you can see the front section is straight  and there is still a rimple in the backside.
 But first we positioned the mold with the mounting brackets to the under side of the boards. And then tack welded them in place.
 Then we added some rails to get the back side straight and also put one on the front side.
That is one board almost finished now we have to do the same with the other one.
