Now it's starting to look like something. This is what I was able to get done yesterday (friday).

Here's a couple more.

Holy cow, you don't mess around, do you. Nice tube work.

 

[crawler12]

Yesterday I got my thirds and outer knuckle/hub/spindle assemblies for the axles I'm using which took up most of my free time ( junkyards are fun ) so I didn't get a whole lot done, but this is what I did manage to do. Basicly the front spreader bars and the lower dash bar. I'm using triple spreader bars up front because I will be using an A frame style windshield support.

This is the seat mount base on the driver side, I'll be fabbing up the seat mounts over the next day or so.

Holy cr@p this a lot of tubing. So here's the latest update, I got the seat bases and window bars in, seat mounts still to come along with the upper dash bars.

 

[Bart]

Love it.

 

[Paul R]

It is looking sweet! I am really digging your build

At least "Lost samurai" makes a good workbench

Well now that the big stuff is basicly done (at least untill I find the rest of the drive train I need) I'm working on the smaller detail stuff for now and next week I should have the parts needed for the rear suspension.

so whats the deal with the splice on the front A pillar?

 

[MRJ]

The tube work looks very good. Though, I am surprised no one has asked if Jesse welded it up. Tack, Tack, Tack

I just decided to sleeve the A pillar to keep the tubing tight and low stress, it's a very common method in desert truck building as long as it's done right.

I don't even know who Jesse is, but I do all my own welding.
