Another small step toward my garage 
Primer was done on the dash! I will make a small bracket in the lower portion to fix my CB solid
We used the new glove panel to scan the paint in order to match it
60$ for the IMRON if anyone need it code below

These are the door trims finalized those are ready to welcome @AmirTroopyNZ drop-down table and storage compartment check it out at :
Troopy Rear Door Tables, 3D scan/Product Design - Amir And Azadeh - https://amirandazadeh.com/rear-tail-gates-tables-3d-scan-product-design/
I don't like rivnuts we basically welded some bolts inside instead so the barn door will not loosen during the travels

I like it.... extra non slip, with a certain stealth factor

That's exactly it! Since the back doors will be used a lot for the living space I think this extra grip was necessary!

The steering column adapter was cracked! This happens when you pull yourself on the wheel while upping into the truck. New Adapter is not available so welding time...
And the truck should come back tomorrow home!

Time to lose some weight Tom??
Gosh! Seriously though, you would have to be seriously pulling on that to break it!! 
This is starting to really look like a sweet 70... you must have to resist the urge to rush it finished!! Man this is going to be a beautiful ride when it is done. I don't even want to know what the price tag is going to be when you are done. The main thing is if you are happy with it, and from the looks of it, I am not sure how you couldn't be! Keep up the good work!

Hahaha, it's probably before my time! The crack was not very noticeable but a little play was there... I am very happy with the work done so far no rush until the end of winter! Alucab roof, windows, then the cabinet (plumbing, etc) are still some major things to do but it's coming back home after 6 months of restoration.
Thanks for the kind word mate I truly appreciate it
Much nicer weather in July

Yeah now it’s getting colderMuch nicer weather in July
What a beauty! love the attention to detail.
I built a few Troopys for clients. I recommend you keep the weight down as much as you can. Troopys are weight magnets. A lot of room and when loaded for a trip they can get super heavy.
I'm not sure what your requirements are for driving Off-Road in Canada but I think it's universal to keep the truck as light as possible.
Good luck. The attention to detail on yours is really really nice.

Are those the same cabinets 4XO's Andrew St Pierre White used in his green Troopy build? Very intrigued but happy with my 80/20 buildout.

No, those are similar but with different in concept engineered by Amir but I think they are better in some application
Now those can be sold with both concepts
I was considering a build like that but ended up doing a custom 80/20 buildout myself since I had some unique requirements. Can't wait to see this one done!No, those are similar but with different in concept engineered by Amir but I think they are better in some application

I am planning to assemble everything in January or March depending on the time I have between work and travels! Would love to see some pictures of your setup
