Thats great news, keep up the good work man

 

nice build. i need to do some weight reduction. 3600 full weight with me in it. not decent.

 

Need update WITH pics Jerry!

 

ya know...I used to be good about that **** hahaha

 

damn....no pics again, but the t-top trunk area is done

 

omg ur god sent bro, this is so awsome, i want to do the same thing ur doing, keep up the wicked work, and yes more pics, would really lik to see the door panels and trunk area, plz

 

I am calling BS on this one LOL

 

haha you haunt me here too, huh

 

heres a few updated pics to tide ya over till I get the mini tubs completed






hmmm - didn't get one of rear pan cut out - oh well





and this ole dusty area

 

Everything looks really good, impressive work for sure.

One comment/observation I'd like to make (don't hate me for it) but I am curious... I see people doing the trunk/t-top well elimination now, which I think is a great way to eliminate weight and make room for wheelie bars... but I'm curious: Why doesn't anyone put a bead roll in that replacment plate? Is it becasue noone has a bead roller, or is there another reason? I am looking at doing that myself, but I was going to have the guy do a couple lines in it with a bead roller, so that it will have a little more rigidity. That, and I'll most likly put a couple round bar pcs under the panel, as my battery is back there and will remain there, and I'd like to have some support for it that's better then just the plate.

Discuss.

 

its def not a bad idea - I just didn't feel like making the trip to get it done. you could have gotten away with 14g or 16g steel as well if you do that, but I just went 18g and left it flat. it's still very strong and will support the battery/tools fine.

 

Damn Jerry, that's some heavy work! Looks good though. I can't wait to see it run.

 

nice skinnies up front. :p

 

Those rear brackets are a bitch to get out.

 

btw - I have weighed everything....totals just under 60lbs. lil disappointed...

 

What is everything? Just the stuff you cut out in the rear or was it other areas too??

 

t-top area, cubbies and wheel wells....

 

Good looking build man..I will be doing the same as soon as I heel up from back surgery.

Looking forward to seeing it done.

 

keep cutting, all that crap is overrated

 

maybe switch to the later model plastic fuel tank too, a little bigger and a little lighter
