b-pillar work

On Sunday, we decided to try to tackle the beginnings of the b-pillars.

What is there now, is just the sheet metal.  No structure behind it.  So, I got some 1.5''x2.5'' rectangle tube.  Since it slopes inward above the latch area, I cut several slits in the tube, brought it together to form the curve, then Brian welded it up:

I forgot to get a pic after the welds were ground smooth, but I am very happy how it turned out!  Now we should make the other side while it's fresh in our minds how we did it :)
