I opened the topper windows alittle more cause they was a tad small! not bad considering i started with a piece of flat sheet stock........ Opened up the doors and hinged them....(havin trouble finding the right wire so i picked up some smaller stuff, should work ok once i get some paint build up on them LOL), The topper is from the re-issue 80s ford bronco, thats been reworked alittle LOL................... The topper lines i put back in also.........still long ways to go.......... I removed the saddle gas tank and will be moving it to the back (once i find a suitable one) I have it up three wheels LOL need to locate one wheel back.......      |

Have the interior installed, carpeted the back (hard to get a pic of right now) need to do some touch up painting yet thru out.........plus some detail painting under the hood......... Filled the front bumpers turn signals still need to sand them, Did a trade a week ago and waiting on a unbuilt kit to come in cause i need the exhaust off of it.........(thinkt he post office lost it tho) so i may need to locate another one, or just scratch build the exhaust.......Still need to make drive shafts for it. Locate two sqaure headlights, and detail paint the turn signals and side marker lights........... The hood still needs to be water sanded to smooth it out some more......... Next will be the hard part i will be making the topper side window trim from scratch so this will take some time............. Well hope you like, its gona be another one off off my bench fairly soon.........not alot time to work on it right now but i have been squeezing some time in here and there.........      |
