Chris did you finish Mathew's? If so where are the pics?
Save me some scraps of that metal. I need to come get some to plug some gaping wounds in my pile.

Building both at the same time. I am not a vender and didn't want to post work related items. I figured it would be OK to post my personal protect though. I hope I didn't screw up. Matthews will actually have a rear section of the fender. Mine will actually be a buggy that looks like a 40.
I think it would be fine to post pics in our section.

Here are a couple goodies going into this build.
I have 4 seats and harnesses. The heims are huge. 39" BFG Krawlers on race line wheels.

Didn't get a bunch done today, just did some assembly of the parts. Mainly the rear tubs and bed sides.
I didn't fully spot weld everything together because as soon as I do, I would need to change something (duh!)

Our greatest challenge is keeping the rust from our hands off the new steel. I'm hoping that after I get the AC installed (this week I hope) that will help dry the air.

speaking on rust, I was telling Greg this afternoon that I didn't mention this on the posts because it's hard to actually see it unless you're in person. I spray the sides that actually touch with weld through primer so I don't have to worry about the rush eating from the inside out.
So much awesome...
^^^ What Lash said. Full on Awesomocity.
A hundred pounds of steel packed into a small cardboard box that makes the the USPS second guess it's 'flat rate' decision daily...got to be from RuffStuff.

Funny you say that because I've thought that exact thing. I can't remember where I got those from, I contacted one of the venders on Pirate months ago when I was gathering all my parts.
Holy sh!t! Raise the bar a little, why don't you?
Awesomocity indeed!
