Ethel has began

[Ben]

Ok here it is after a few adjustments.

How's this look I feel a 100% better about how it looks now.
And after I fit it in place

I only cut one side off and worked on it the rear is another story, I'm going to start from scratch!

[KCStudly]

That's looking much better!

[Silvrzuki77]

Hey ben, I agree keep the AC, im thinking of adding one. possibly. Sliders look awesome now being tucked in closer! Great job!

[Ben]

Ok I salvaged some of the material from the rear and was able to get to this point.


As you can see its not a finished product but thought I would post some pics. I've been reading on the board and think I have a good idea on how to do my ac ill post some pics when I get to that point but there calling for some overtime at work and I'm all in for some extra cash! And I think I'm going to cover in filon but haven't been a good start on finding the color I was wanting. So ill be contacting the manufacturer and see where I can purchase it from. Well that's all for tonight.

[KCStudly]

Might want to sweep up some of that sawdust before doing too much more welding. There's already been one garage burn down here on the forum and that was more than enough.

Just saying.

[Ben]

I need to do more than sweep the floor!! Maybe on my next day off ill get that done.

[Ben]

Ok so a little update I did get my axle ordered and should be here next tues the 7th. As in springs I haven't got a clue of what to go with. Kc you should be proud I did sweep most of the shop.


And I've started laying out for axle placement and I also picked up my other tire and got it mounted. And as I'm waiting for parts I took some time to go hunting for some morel mushrooms. And if this project was done I'd be Michigan bound for a big harvest. But this is what I found here


And I tried a sample paint and wasn't to crazy with the outcome. It shows and scratches way to easy in my opinion

So now I'm kinda leaning back to power coat or imron paint. And I also started cutting in some of my tail lights but I don't have any pics of that I must have forgotten to take some pics. But there nothing special. The good thing is work has been crazy so I've been working a lot of over time so mo money for parts so let's see what comes in the mail??... Ill post more when things start to show up. Well that's all for tonight have a good week all!

[KCStudly]

Keep at it. The mushrooms look awesome!

I can sleep at night now, knowing that the risk of fire is much lower there.

[Ben]

Lol glad to hear that but just so you know I never leave the shop til after the 30 min cool down time has gone by.

[KCStudly]

LOL, small world. I did fire watch for some overhead welding in one of our warehouses at work today. Our rule is only 15 minutes. Either way, it is a good habit to be in.

[Silvrzuki77]

Powdercoating is nice till you crack it then its never the same. Lets not talk about fire watchs still want to burn mine.

[Ben]

Well I left work at 3:30 today so I could pick up my axle. I also picked a few other parts. And I can officially say that's its a roller now


For now I just went with trailer springs and ill see how it goes if I don't like them ill change them out. And since I had the welder out I also tacked some tabs on for the front tool box

So now I have some more planning to do. Well that's all I have gotten done in the last week or so. As always more to come later.

[Silvrzuki77]

Sweet!! Wheels look great! Any real plans for the front tool box area? Thinkin something moby1's would be awesome.

[Silvrzuki77]

Right now would be the perfect time to link suspension airbag yours! Super easy too.

[Ben]

I agree about moby1 tool box. I just want to get campable right now but you never know what's up my sleeve! Lol
