Actually doing some work on my own truck, a rarity for sure.
I wanted to do something different. I picked up cable locker conversion kits for the axles 5 or 6 years back. So I went all cable and moved them up. Center console will extend under and up the the shifter mounts. Room for a couple indicator lights between the trans shifter and others.

@NCFJ - What’s you preferred striping method? I used to work in a body shop, so i do have some skills. To save money i am prepping my truck at home. I want to go down to bare metal fix dents/fill holes/rust.
Lastly i plan primeing in garage and then having a proper professional spray for color and clear.
I haven’t decided on white or silver. I am 50/50 at this point. Interior will have orikawa door cards and grey leather interior.

Back to Leon. All jambs, inner doors, gate and hatch, inside doors all stripped to metal, prepped and being sprayed with epoxy primer
Lots of exposed metal inside a 60. More when you dump the plastic in the back and the wrap over door cards.
3 coats epoxy primer on everything except inside the body

Got the metal in for the new frame table
This is the frame table I am building. Big thanks to Kyle Kuhnhausen for his help in this. I contacted him and told him I'd like to duplicate his table. He agreed to use his designs and sndcutsend me a bunch of parts he had cut for his table. Check out his Instagram, he builds some really nice cars.

I'm like a kid at Christmas! Laser cut parts and 1"-8 ACME threaded rod for the frame table.
Fabricators, check out Sendcutsend.com If you can draw it in 2D on a CAD layout that works for them, they can cut, bend, tap holes etc.. Enlarge that photo and figure out how long it would take you to make those parts in your shop. Almost all of it is 1/4" plate. All the small holes in the square plates and the oval plates are tapped.
