Kit Karson Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 Kould just skip forward and show you where the TNR belly pan has progressed to date, but here's a few steps from along the way: Won't try to even guess as to the total number of pieces involve in the construction of the tail portion of the belly pan... -KK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when the inner belly pan was being assembled the left-over pieces became fodder for the tail end... adding the outer rails to create the full belly pan formed the idea for the rear pan... wanting something different than the traditional rolled rear pan... this is what it turned out to be: From initial concept to final outcome: A bit of smoothing will klean up the differential joint...

The return on investment (ROI) adds stock and value to the rear of the TNR!!! -KK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
