Close up picks of soda can fiberglass cap

 

[lunyou]

I just caught back up on all this. There isn't any updates to report. I had decided to part it out, but after reading my plans I want to start it back up.

I have actually considered chopping the rear bed off at the cab and fabbing some kind of cab. That way I get around the whole fixing the rust and capping the quarters thing.

Hmm, I wonder how much the wife would kill me if I decided to start this thing back up.

And just to clarify. The soda can "cap" was not a cap. Only a mold to build solid fiberglass caps around to keep the caps for both sides, uniform. I do not have aluminum soda cans on the top of the bed rails covered with fiberglass.

I wrapped the soda can mold I built with plastic wrap, wrapped fiberglass sheeting halfway around the cans and let it set. Then I simply removed the formed cap off the cans and made the other side using the same set of cans.

you should not part it out, your wife already let you start on this fiber-rig!
Should be an awsome build, cool to see a budget one!

damn u guys get bad rust over there,here in oz its usually the roof thats bad,have u thought about cutting the back half off completley and fitting a flat tray,its good for clearence,they do look tops style sided and bobbed though

 

[richardsc]

kinda like this one

It is a perfect candidate for a flatbed! You could put a canvas top over the rear seats and a roll cage and then a short flatbed (double cab style) , or just make it simple and go 2 seater just like the one above.

Sort of this style but with open top back seats

my 60 tailgate rusted EXACTLY like this near the license plate. What is the cause?
