Very nice Eddie!

I don't know the name of the process, but I like how you rolled (?) the tubing for the profile. Getting the two sides to match must take some mad skills.

Take care,
Tom

Nice, and I just looked through your gallery tonight. Nice other builds.

I got a question. How is your floor laid in? Is the enough of a lip all around the frame to rest the floor on? or do you notch the floor to fit around the uprights frame parts?

Yeah I not a fan of red either but looks good with that black. And the flooring does over lap and there are added 2" angle cross bars added in at the point the wood sheets join. 8)

Very nice color scheme! But, how's that black roof gonna work out in the Arizona sun? After having some experience in a black Chevelle w/black interior, and a black firesuit, in the heat of the day (155 degrees observed temperature on thermometer on the sunvisor!), I painted my roof (TTT not the car) a reflective silver to somewhat shed some rays in the Texas sun (but would've preferred black or gray). Are you going to put an insulated interior ceiling in? And if you add air conditioning to it, how many btu's ?

Very nice Eddie!

I bet the Texas Tech fans here in Texas would really love the colors on this build of yours.

Can you say what type of rivets you are using?

Take care, Tom

Using the olympic rivets from Vintage Camper supply. Yes the the black roof I cant even touch right now but it is insulated with 1" insulation and the ceiling is just warm to the touch. My streetrod is black with no headliner in it and you feel the heat. Texas Tech :thumbsup:

Really like the rolled tubing. I wish I had one! I have a JDW2 bender but will only do a 6.5" radius, and I only have 3 dies.

Very nice build!
