Customs My shoebox chop

Hey Stefan, everything looks like it is fitting good, you have a great build going, keep it up.

 

Just when I think you are about done with making some cool stuff....you make some more.

I am jealous of your talent. But I live in Maui so we are even...

 

thanks for all the coments

I have worked little more on my backseats back.



I have made cuts in it so i shall fitt together with the sides



i'm not sattifide with fitt yet maybe i will start over aigin with a new playwood board to the back. But i will try to adjust it little more before i scrap the back.

/Stefan

 

hey stefan are you building your own seat or modifying something else?

 

Nice with with the hinges. What did you use for the pins? Just curious if you bought repro or used something similar.

 

I build from the begining on the rear seat.

 

I bought repro pins from mac's.

 

I put holders on the playwood back of the rearseat.



I'm not satifide with the fitt of the back i have to big gaps on the sides



I need to make a new but it should be easyer

/Stefan

 

How about, adding cardboard taped to the plywood before removing and starting over with the new wood. That way you can close up the gaps and get the shape that you want.

 

It looks like the vertical board on pass side is angled in, where the driver's side is vertical. Also it looks as if there is more exposed arm rest on the pass side than the other. I'm not trying to be critical of your work, it is so far beyond anything I can do. I am subscribed and enjoy watching and reading. It helps me too.

 

Hey Stefan, if you are going to add foam to the back and then cover with material, you may need a little gap for fitting. Check with a interior shop before redoing it, just my 2cents worth, but good work as usual.

 

Stefan you are a master fabricator. Keep up the great work. Thanks for taking the time to post this build. Look forward to seeing your updates.

Big news!! Stefan's first fuck-up! He is human after all.

 

lmao!!!!!:d

 

Thanks for all the coments

I was on a interior shop to day and speak about the gaps.
He say that were no problems with the gaps.
I shall only fix gaps on the bottom board.
And i even talk about the front seat what was necessary to do with that.

/Stefan

 

When i talk with the interior shop and asked about the front seat.
So he recomend to change the bad springs to foam insted



I removed the springs



And scarp them



After removing the spring and the spring holders put i in a extra profile to hold the seat up and o will put in the L-iron to hold the plywood in the rear end

/Stefan

 

I weld in the l-iron



And i paint with primer.

/Stefan

 

You're doing well Stefan! Keep the pictures coming!

 

This is interesting,i really like to see what direction you're going with the seats.
And dont mind about the dyslexia,i am sure that we understand what you mean

 

Hahaha! I've scarped plenty of shit myself over the years.

 

thanks for the coments

I have put in a 12 mm plywood board on my front seat bottom frame



Next will i put plywood on the backs too

/Stefan

 

I have made a tank filler pipe



It is in for test and is only spot welded yet



Her's the tank hole behind the right rear lamp and next thing is to make the rear lamp.
easy flippeble.

/Stefan

 

Can't wait to see the set-up for taillight.

 

Fantastic, Stefan!! I knew you could do it. You are a very entertaining guy, I love how your engineering mind works.

By the way, do you have another car project (or 2) that you are not telling us about?

 

I like your hidden fuel filler - good idea !

 

Stefan you are a maniac....in a good way,

 

Tail light detail looks interesting...

 

I'm helping my sister son with his Oval VW some times.



and i shall do some job on my DeSoto little nearer the spring.

But the most time i spend in the garge is with shoebox.
