Finally picked this up from the laser cutter yesterday! Very excited, the cuts came out beautifully with almost no slag. A quick test fit on the spare transmission case and everything lines up great so far. Only the clearance holes are laser...

Going back together. Jason TT

Frame is back from powdercoating. Might be a couple weeks before I get it rolling again. Jason TT

Decided to make a new tank. 40 gallon Jason TT

Made some really good progress on the rear speaker enclosures this weekend. I dislike paint work. I'm pretty patient, but painting is a skill that requires some talent too. I'm lacking in the skill department. 😆 They look alright. I'll have...

LS power steering STAINLESS STEEL pump adapters. These are extended to clear the pulley (WITHOUT REMOVAL) and allow for a simple 6AN fitting to be installed. Jason TT

Andrea says it looks like Bruce... Love the color in the sun. Be darker on a cloudy day. Has a red and violet undertone as you walk around. Jason TT

@Delta VS Radius arms will go on in a few days when the frame gets back from powder. Thank you again Dave. Jason TT

Thanks Dave, should see it in the sunlight tomorrow. Went back and forth many times to get the color I wanted. Jason

Wet sanding has begun. Only needed 2500 grit to get a little trash out of the clear. Jason TT

Made a little housing/bracket/mounting thingamawidget for the rear camera. Turned out alright. I dig it. As always should've done some things differently, but nothing worthy of garbage can. No cnc action on this. I didn't have the patience...

Just stuck the rear camera onto the back with magnets above the ambulance door and snuck it over the seal by the latch. I think that's a good as is going to get. I made a little section with two plugs to spice into the harness I made for the...

Paint will go down in the morning. 4AM start tomorrow. Jason TT

Chassis is stripped down, fully welded out and ready to go to powder. Motor is in the customs shop and should get started on tearing it down late next week. Pete and his helper Damion are cranking on the cab. @Butt Ugly Chuck came by with...

More block sanding and prep. We'll be working tomorrow to get this ready for paint. Jason TT

Still Mint Green FTW.

Welp, I'm happier than a puppy with two peckers over how this Garmin unit fits above the mirror. Needs a power cable extension and some tucking of the wires. Other than that, the little bit I've played with it, it's awesome.

A little more progress. Started block sanding and pulling doors today. I'm back and can help get this knocked out. Jason TT
