    it will bolt to the frame, i have to weld in bungs into the frame, ive already drilled the holes in the body and frame so thats the next step.

    ill snap a pic of the hinges tomorrow for ya.

    got most of the rest of the welding done and got it into the back of a p/u truck so off to the blaster tomorrow.

    Im not sure what im doing for a gas tank but one will probably be made from aluminum to fit behind the seats.


    also more progress, i sand blasted the body today, now its time to mud her up!

    it amazes me. for just piecing together a bunch of parts, it looks pretty darn good. so with the tank behind the seat, do you have plans for an external fill or will you hide it in the trunk?

    i think the tank is gonna kinda be a wedge shape and the filler will be in the trunk area near the top, i did an external fill in the coupster that i built but that had a wider deck panel.

    yeah, im very happy with the way its turning out, the body isnt prefectly square but its damn close, not enough to worry about in my book, but the frame is strait and square like its supose to be.

    the drives door is about the worst of it all, it had an oil can panel if you know what i mean so when i blasted it it went in a little, so ill have to do a little shrinking to get it to work out.
