Builds DINGO- 60FZJ-UTE LS3 EROD (PROVEN CA SMOG)

[Kmonty66]

Quick check on the Corbeau seats. I only ordered the one pair instead of the two with all the back and forth with the 60 and 80 base. I'll need to see how much of the of the wheel wells I cut out for the second pair to fit right.

I might need to get a set of those...they are the cloth models not leather correct?

K, These are the cloth ones. You can sit in them when you're here Thursday. They are very comfy.

Sweet! I’ve been waiting for someone to finally bring these to market. I’ve always like the aluminum ones that Icon makes for their builds but those are unobtanium. Got a target price for them yet?

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

I'll run a couple of flat samples for layout, holes and perimeter match tomorrow and then we'll take them to the mill for a round or two... of test samples.

I'm hoping for the 125-135.00 per pair mark. Just depends on mill time.

Ooh yeah!

 

[JTU]

Sweet. I’ll definitely be ordering when available.

 

[Beams37]

Killer.

 

[Saddletramp]

Great idea.

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Great idea.

Well there's a lot of interest and the old ones are up in age and most are cracked.

Don't forget to build in a bridge to hold the inside of the "D'" and "O" in place
before cutting those DINGO ones...

That cut table software does that for me .. just have to remember to hit the stencil text tab... Ha

You and your snazzy doo-dads

Waiting for these to drop. Add fender vents as a full package.

These coming plain or powder coated?

Excited to see what other suprises you have coming with this build.

D,

They will be aluminum. So powder will be the best for external use. Maybe a clear for guys that want that look. But, bare will always be an option. I'm looking at the fender vents too, but may be a while. @gbogh and @kmonty got to see the first flat run and seemed to like it.

Surprises---- Possibly the 80 dash fit and an overhead console.

@gbogh helped me put the lift on the Patrol this morning. I'll recruit him to help do the body and frame swaps here in a couple weeks. I'm almost caught up with the 200 guys orders...

I’d be interested in how your doing the overhead console. I’ve been kicking ideas around.

Looking forward to seeing these done!

Bought a set of OEM fender flares. Full set, but I only plan to use the fronts. They were textured at some point, so need to sand them smooth for my liking for this build.

I know of at least 6 local 60’s that would benefit from your idea.

I think the other real need for 60’s is the center dash surround, most are cracked beyond repair. I’ve JB weld and super glued a few back to life but the real solution needs to be a 3D printed copy or better still an aluminum version.
