Top job there mate. It looks like you've also cut the guards?

Thanks. Yeah mate took about 3'' out of the front of the guard and about 2'' out of the rear. The top of the guard is staying as is. Only reason for this was I didn't wont to go to a body lift to run 38s. 

More to follow on that. There will be tube to follow the shape of the arch which will have tabs welded to the inside to mount the flares.

the interior is turning out way better than i expected

[tailpipez]

Finished all the interior tonight and very happy with it.

Now its time to get back into the body work. 

[tailpipez]

Little more done today. I will give that paint a day or so to dry then I ll put some more bracing around the top edge were it s painted white, The reason for the white paint is to keep temps down its all going to be all sealed in so I think the fridge will heat things up in there. Once that is done then I ll sheet it all in and start on the lid to get to the fridge.   

 

[tailpipez]

little bit more done.

[BigGQWesty]

Looking good mate. Any reason why your sealing the box?

What's the final colour going to be?

[tailpipez]

I am going to Cape York in August and hopefully get some deep water crossing I don't want any water damaging my fridge and other stuff that's not water proof. All the tray will be sealed in with a raised lid over the part were the fridge sits so its accessible. It will be red but all over with some black to break it up.

Cheers for the comments.

Roof sliders? Planning for Vic snow country sled adventures?

Roof sliders hey. Nice. Be careful parking in carparks though, you may find the local skate boarders using you roof to do grinds on or whatever they call it these days lol

[tailpipez]

Ok it's time to knuckle down and get this shit finished. I am starting to get withdrawals not driving this thing any more + I am heading off to the tip at the end of this month.

Any way hears where I am at.
