Nothing really noticable as I am stuck waiting on parts. In normal times I wouldn&#8217;t have time to work on all of the projects on my to-do list, but anything I needed I could order and have delivered within a couple days. Now I have plenty of time, but ordering is the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have several parts ordered that are on backorder with no real idea when they will arrive, and I need to have them here to test fit before I can weld in adjacent panels. So I am have to pause the tub build for a few days. I understand the delays are because everyone is working at partial capacity, but every day the estimated ship dates get a little further out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some things I am waiting on:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drivers side wheel housing &#8211; Ordered 5 days ago and was supposed to be &#8220;Ready to ship&#8221;. No tracking number or status updates on where it is.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tailgate surround and taillight panels &#8211; It looks like Classic Enterprises is shut down until their state ends the stay at home order, which was just extended for another month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drivers side rear floor panel &#8211; This shipped from Nevada to Ohio in 2 days and has been moving between suburbs 30 miles from me for 5 days. Fedex says it is out for delivery today, but they said that yesterday as well. This is the 4th estimated delivery date they have provided.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So what was actually accomplished?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The important and time consuming task I completed last weekend was documenting stock measurements I need to assemble the new stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen all of these people with build threads on forums with their SketchUp diagrams and fancy 3d models of everything. So I give you my high tech pencil and graph paper diagram of my floor measurments. I was surprised that everything I checked seemed to be right on imperial measurements. No metric at AMC I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/54.175.218.146\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_3078-scaled-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-137\" srcset=\"http:\/\/internetfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_3078-scaled-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/internetfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_3078-scaled-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, http:\/\/internetfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_3078-scaled-1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, http:\/\/internetfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_3078-scaled-1-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, http:\/\/internetfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_3078-scaled-1.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Floor measuements so In can align the rear bed floor and crossmember square and the right distance from the firewall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And I spent some time pumping up all the flat tires on the frame to 35 PSI so I could measure the height of all of the frame to body mounts. Not exactly precision, but better than trying to measure with 4 different levels of flat tires. The actual height measurement numbers are not so important, but their relationship to each other is. The rear bed crossmember needs to be 3 inches higher than the passenger area mounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/54.175.218.146\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_3080-scaled-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-138\" srcset=\"http:\/\/internetfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_3080-scaled-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/internetfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_3080-scaled-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, http:\/\/internetfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_3080-scaled-1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, http:\/\/internetfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_3080-scaled-1-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, http:\/\/internetfun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_3080-scaled-1.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Body mount elevations for setting hight of rear crossmember.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I also painted the firewall with POR-15 and forgot to take a picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next steps<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If the final floorpan arrives undamaged I will be able to complete the drivers side floorpan replacement and install the bed floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond that?
