That was what you said.

And you have certainly triumphed !!

Well done.

It's a pity most people only see a shiny white truck, and not the days and hours of specialist fabrication you and others have done.

I am sure you are pleased and proud of the truck, and rightfully so.

Thank you for this...wow been a stretch till now...and yes many hours.It will be officially Christened on a trip down to the Grand Canyon.Looking soon for a tent/trailer that will be cool enough to haul behind it.I have a good feeling Ill find and then modify one!:lol:

Once again thanks for what you posted...really appreciate it my friend.:ito:

An absolute pleasure.

You deserve all the praise you get.

Take a look at this thread of a build I did.
http://retrorides.proboards.com/thre...ompleted-build

I am sure it is well within your skill set.

Alternately of course, buy an incomplete project and finish to your tastes.

Making some sill plates,while wiring ...the guys mentioned a Merc that had them,so here we go.

Drew up a design and had them cut on the waterjet.when I had some extra time ..I polished them up.

Next week..off to a CNC to get the centers milled out to allow room for a lens and lighting so they illuminate when the doors open.

My attempt at making custom illuminated sill plates has paid off! Plugged them in tonight to see how they look..... backside shows the acrylic and wire lite......all wire will be hidden when I get them into place...
