The 79 T top with the 6.6 and shaker hood 8) No it is my brothers project/dream car he is in the process of building, and he has been studying "Smokey And The Bandit". it will be his reward to himself when his probation is over and he gets his license back. I got to drive it from his house to here and it is pretty quick without major massaging

Well for a few more

The interior cabinets, still need to cut the opening and make the doors, but I have the all important tunes
Image

Still need to finish the ceiling and might put in a couple of pieces to support a future LCD pod
Image

rough galley, needs cabinet doors, and maybe some lower cabinets under the counter.
Image

Some things I still need to put on

    exterior trim
    interior trim
    cabinet doors
    stabilisers
    plus a few other things I cant think of at the moment

And a few options I am thinking about
    water system
    storage in the floor
    heavy floor insulation
    auxiliary lighting

Well the voices in my head aligned and I took a couple with the T/V (not the T/A as some had hoped), my 93 Toyota pickup

I am guessing some of the sharp eyed people are going to ask about the antenna's, well right fender- stock AM-FM, left fender- CB radio, top of cab 2-meter radio.
And those funny little rectangles below the bumper, green LED strobes volunteer firefighters use theme in my neck of the woods

It looks real nice, Chris. :applause: Hopefully, she is good and water tight. Extra important in the Pacific NorthWest! I bought a teardrop from up there in Washington, sight unseen (well, my brother in Federal Way saw it), and camped in it twice before the water devastation on the plywood became apparent. (many more pics of the water damage on pages 10 - 12 of my album)

:cry:

I ended up tearing it down and starting over.

The one place that looks pretty suceptable to wather in your photos is the top of your gearbox.

Just break out the hose and give her a good test, and seal the undercarriage with roof tar or something, and it will last many years!
God Bless

I am not very worried about water, as I built the walls on top of the frame and put a heavy coating of herculiner. The storage box still needs some refining, on that I will be putting aluminum angle around all the edges with a neoprene weather seal on that to help there. the gap you see is not a warp, I double hinged the lid so I can get my folding table out without opening the entire box. another thing as I am slightly paranoid all the hinges are going to get a wide strip of rubber fastened over theme to help prevent water entry, I think I would do this with any style of hinge around here (rain + lead foot = hurricane force) Thanks for looking it over an extra set of eyes is always good. :thumbsup:
