After a bit of discussion Jade now had an imperial speedo to go back into her. I went from this to this in a couple of hours. Next question is can anyone tell me the seating arrangements for her. I have a few different seats that came with her and I know which ones are for the front however I am not sure which ones go in the rear if any. Pics would be handy.

Awesome work! Any updates?

Spent the weekend in Cairns and picked up some 2 PAC etch and Raptor liner for the underneath of Jade. Just got to get the steel worn finished and then start painting the tub.

Well its been a while since I updated this so a couple of small things. Body mount kit arrived yesterday from Peter at Tojo 4wd and hopefully the welding of the rear section will be done this week along with applying the Raptor Liner to the underneath. Have a week off work so might even get the tub painted

Where do those longer pads on the right go? I've got a set of mounts that I haven't installed yet and am curious.

 

[Ken White]

To tell you the truth I have no idea either. I dont remember them when I pulled the cab off

There's a mount towards the rear of the bed - on the downward slope of the frame before the sill

One side of the rear quarter almost completed.

Good work Ken.
Are you enjoying the panel side of your build?
For me I got loads of unexpected pleasure when doing the panel work .
I was as a little sorry to see it finish. I would sit in the work shop with my hammers and Dollies and tap away for hours till I got the panel right.
God knows how much a car restore shop would have charged?
Keep up the good work and keep the photos coming
Cheers Peter

Rear is all done and welded back in a quick hit of etch primer before I go away for 2 weeks. Just need to do a bit of tidying up on where it has been welded and then the tub can be painted.

Got stuck back into Jade and put the Raptor Liner on the underneath. This stuff looks great and goes on easy. Will leave it sit now for a week to cure and then flip the tub over and do the same with the inside with a tintable version.

Man sure looks purdy like that! Sometimes I wish I did a frame off vs. a rolling. But then I come to my senses...

Ken, It looks great, keep up the good work and keep the pics coming.

 

[Ken White]

Will do. Hopefully the tub will be painted and put back on the chassis by the end of the month.
