Its a dream but a good dream !

Oh, and the Wife that I'm watching is doing great !

That's why I brought the truck home. Can't get the LMTV ready by Expo,but need a place to stay when we go up. LOL

Here are the strips that get glued and screwed to the box frame and then the panels get glued and stapled to the strips.





The hole is the pass through to the cab. Its also the other bedroom that's in the sleeper. Going to do a 2' x 2' for the LMTV.



And one new front panel.



Just think how good it could be when doing the LMTV, LOL

Other side. Panel Wednesday.

 

[B85]

And covered.



Now on to the front panel.

 

[B85]

And the front with the pass through !

 

[B85]

The wall panel's are 1/4" plywood. So use a backing plate to mount things.









And, yes their all at 5'. LOL

Taking the weekend off. So out comes the LMTV and we will be at the Military Show at Falcon Field, Commemorative Air Force area. You can see what the truck looks like when you get one from GPlanet. With some repairs.

Had a great time at the show. Talked to some people looking into building from a M1078 or M1079 . Was fun,we had 3 on hand to look at .

 

[B85]

Back to the bedroom. Ready for panels. What a pain.









And to think, I will need to do this all over again on the LMTV build ! What a dumb A%$ !

 

[B85]

A little more work in the bed room. Also some shots on how to anchor the steel walls to the box. All were bolted to the box frame members.
Also you can see how the steel is covered with wood for the panels. I tried to glue just to the steel and had some problem. After switching to screw and glued strips the problem is gone.

 

[B85]

Closer. More panels up and only one left to go.
Then on to some trim and build the bed frames.

 

[B85]

Its done. Now planing or deplaning the cabinets for the bed room . Sorry about the poor photos. It was dark out.



If you look close their is a line for the top cabinets.

 

[B85]

Found some storage containers for the job of luggage , air-tite and will fit in the storage bin.



Will be able to pack up in the house and then just put in the locker.
Their will be a total of 5 small and 2 large.

 

[B85]

Got called into the shop to help out a little.
So, I worked on the light bar !



225 Watt LED's X 6 . That should help my failing eye site ? :Wow1: Or maybe you could get a tan . Will be fun to light them off for the first time.

All built on the new work station.



Fun to have the air over for the bending. And a move-able stand was great when rolling the 100" tube for the crown.

 

[B85]

Mounted up. Still need to do some finish welding but what do you think ?



Still need to bend the top bar and the roof bars but its a start.

 

[B85]

How about some storage area. Came out good for a non-cabinet maker. Hope to get better as I work to the front ? LOL



Their will be a door with 2 latches to keep it closed up.
