i was committed, so armed with my harbor freight heat gun and a razor blade i went at it..... by the time i got to the last window, i had it down to a science. the only real pain was the rear window because i was afraid to use the razor around the heating elements. ended up using some fine steel wool and ammonia
Got a little more done today. Its not as high up as it is supposed to be, but i can still get the frame mounts higher in the air. Maybe 1/2”?
Sides swoop in about an inch from top to bottom, not as much as id like, id have gone 1.5-2” but with the back being 90* to the ground, that might have looked silly? Who knows.
Anyone know why there is a hole and another piece inside that hole?
I feel like I'm looking at an alien planet and an alien apparatus. Maybe its the way the first photo is shot - looks surreal. Either way please keep posting that is awesome.
Its my design. I own the rights to it and i have a friend who will cut it out at will. I didnt have it drawn up(i paid a local guy to do it for me) in the intention to sell, build or sell the design, and im not sure if it will come off an Unmodified frame(truck) in its current configuration. Its the first one built, if someone wanted one i could either sell them the pieces and they put it together or i could build one and ship it to them, however i dont know what i would charge either way. I could sell the design if someone had a plasma, laser or water jet table and you cut it out yourself, bend and weld it, however 98% of people couldnt do that.
How serious are you in wanting one? After i build this one ill know more about manufacturing it. Cutting it out would be the easiest, but my buddys table kinda ate like 3 pieces and needs the bugs fixed. Im waiting on that to cut out an “ilean” front bumper.
I have 500 into the drawing, 200 for sheet of 3/16, 7 cut wheels(its a long story, but the brake at my buddys shop doesnt do 3/16 and tge program needs to have some little bugs fixed where slits were supposed to be cut to bend it easier but then requires a looooooot of welding.) i need to find someone to bend all of it. Just wait until the rest of it gets put on. Here is a pic of the cad drawing, but early before the bottom side got moved in 1”(8*) for esthetics.
I got lucky. HD had lots of small boxes but only 2 heavy duty small boxes. perfect for the outer boxes. and they had a small rip on them. so I got them for .50 each

Nice pics, nice cruiser(s).......too cold for me to begin to fathom what it's like at -30*C, car windows open & close at these temps ?
The closest I got to Kamchatka was many moons ago playing Risk, it was crucial territory in the game !!
Keep the picture coming
