coming together quickly

Slight detour on the plan, had to remove some rust!!





now just need to figure out how to fix it?

 

[warwgn]

Well this is as far as I got, will start fresh tomorrow night. I have a plan and think it will work out just fine. Oh wait.....just thought about tying the cage I to the front...crap.

 

[warwgn]

Little sneak peak, even have room for the spare tire, electronics, and maybe the battery.

 

[bigKlittlecar]

Looks tight but great idea!! Keep up the good work!

 

[piratexpress1369a]

not a lot of room in there but if it works go for it..is that a full cage or part

 

[warwgn]

Gonna be a snug fit for sure, the cage is a bolt in but I will modify it to a solid cage.

 

[piratexpress1369a]

ah cool ..with your skill that should be easy

 

[warwgn]

New fuel cell showed up today.





Got home late so nothing done tonight.

 

[piratexpress1369a]

looks like you will have to brace it up ..do you think that your seats will have enough room to recline back

 

[warwgn]

Yeah still gotta build a frame for it and it will move up and back some so the seats should still recline far enough back to nap in. Prolly gonna build a box around it too so can have storage around and under it for tools and stuff.

 

[piratexpress1369a]

lol did you just read my mine

 

[warwgn]

Not the prettiest welds in the world but it will hold for sure, the driver side is boxed in and I ran out of mixed gas right as I finished. Will get gas after work and do the other side tomorrow then start on the cage before I weld in the angled cover plates.







and it official now it has a name.

 

[piratexpress1369a]

love the name ..dam hate when you run out of gas ..sure is a lot of work there ..but it will be great when you are done and on the road

 

[warwgn]

Seats came in today, now time to get serious.
