Yea, that's not gonna happen. I think the majority of the welding is done at this point.
If you want to do something, you will find a way.
If you don't, you will find an excuse.

And another shot towards the front, with all new studs welded in. I did weld in a new one right next to the door frame, which was not there from the factory.
I also added 2 below the window, on 2' centers, in case I want to attach something to the wall there.

So, at this point, the welding is pretty well complete on the drivers side wall. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, well, well. What do we have here...???
This is a pic of the steel that I have left over. This is the 1" x 1.5" steel that I used for studs in the drivers side wall.
This is what's left of the 96 feet I purchased a few weeks ago.

With these 2 pieces, I have about 60 inches left. I am pleased that it worked out pretty close, especially, for a rough estimate when I ordered it.

We can add 4 of these to the tally. So, we add $12.64 onto $492.90 for a grand total of ...... $505.54

Here is a better shot of the left front drivers side, just behind the pilot's seat. The yellow arrow is pointing to a new stud that I welded in, and there was no stud there from the factory.
The area in the yellow rectangle will be described in the next photo.
