I need to unsubscribe. My wallet hurts enough

Ha, my other stretched one may go up for sale once this is back together....

Sides starting to take shape. Luckily I saved the drops from having the quarters made. Yes that is 3/16.

Good, that part will stay straight while the rest of it folds like a beer can, lol.

Ha! You need to go back and read this whole thing Johnny! The entire 3/4 tube is made of 11g, 3/16, and 1/4 material. This was built to wheel and hold up! I have a local guy that makes quarter panels out of 3/16 for me and he rolls the corners so they are smooth, unlike others that have a bunch of bends. They have been into trees, rocks, etc and only scratch the paint. They were made off a set of CCOT quarters I bought, so they are true to stock 40 form and shape.

Step two. Remove perfectly good H41-Orion combo. To be replaced with something better!

What's the plan for the H41/Orion??

What's the plan for the H41/Orion??

It is already spoken for. Deal was done long before it was pulled.

 

[matzell]

Body tub is taking shape. Lots of welding! I need to weld the underside then flap sand it smooth. Inner bed is 11g.

 

[matzell]

Wheel wells taking shape as well. Wanted to add material before I trim it for the larger tires.

 

[matzell]

Little things take so much time! Got the new body mounts made after cutting old ones off. Plugging along today till dinner with Mom

Yes I know, two spacers, bolt was too long. It goes all the way through the big box tube. 1/2" bolt.

 

[matzell]

Added some color to the wheel wells so I can get the cage back in.

I see your heater is still there

Not for long..... I already have the hoses to bypass that and give me room back in the back.

Hey everybody, come see how good I look!

 

[matzell]

Dropped the cage in to look at it. Original plan was to stretch it 14" as well, but after looking at it, I think I like it as is.

 

[mdsims]

I like the shorter roll bar. Does that rear vertical land at the break between the big-little hardtop windows? That’d be ideal, and would provide better visibility. Maybe another test fit? Might need to shift back 3-4” to be perfect?

 

[matzell]

Wheel wells taking shape. I opened them up 4" and 2" taller to give some more room for the 35's

 

[matzell]

Tires back on the check. Looks to clear in the back. I will work on front later.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

I love how those wheel wells came out

 

[matzell]

Decided to add some dom to the lower sides for protection. I still need to cap them.
