Mostly broke rocker crawler

[Blase]

Super cool! Will the cab continue down under the rear windows? What's the plan there?

This indeed badass. Not sure about the mostly broke title. If I came across a mangled Model T cab or something in the woods, the owner would undoubtedly want $5k for it alone. Sigh, I have a Subaru.

More work,haven't gotten that far yet. Kinda wraps around the fuel tank down there.

I'm mostly broke,hence the used parts and low cost new ones.

Old lady made me a insulated top out of a old boat cover.

Bought these black marine buttons and sanded them to expose the brass.

My steering wheel came in. The three spokes are even so it shouldn't look too funny with the hydrosteer.

Found this old stainless tank behind the paint booth. I bet I built this close to twenty years ago and was never picked up.

Kinda hard to install but it's free

Continued patch panels up to top of quarter window. Then I removed the body line from the old panels and spot welded part of it on to continue the bodyline. Looks real nice.

to this build, man. Unless you like whisky. Some day, I'm gonna get to building a real rig again and hope that it turns out at least as half badass as this.

Love how the rear of the cab is coming out!!

looking real nice!

what i think is awesome is the way the fuel tank is positioned. most of us , me included would do it parallel to the cab. nope lets make it a diamond. it would make the back cab panel easier to fab. but no this will be a cool fancy art project for sure. love it.....

Went ahead and assembled the 90 degree brake pedal. It was so cheap I almost thought it wouldn't be usable so I checked it. I think it will work.

Dude. Fuckin SWEET

 

[pinchegringo]

This project is spiraling out of control but there's no backing out now. I figure I can have it running in a few months and completed this year if I hump it.
Right rear quarter finished up
