shouldnt matter mush you can fill the ectra with some styrofoam , foam in a spraycan , or simulair and have it covered in leather or vinyl , speaking of vinyl you might even be able to make the fill in pieces of 2 milimetre vinyl sheet with some heat and patience , might make it eazier to adhere the covering to the corners
I will make metal filler panels, smooth it off and paint it to match

I'm a little late on transporting, but since you have a tow pig you need a trailer for low trucks. Like a rollback trailer.

How are the fenders attached to the trailer so they come off easily? At least I'm guessing they come off easily.

Do you have a time frame for each stage of the build per say or are you guys just wingin it? I know that sema is a long ways away but im sure its coming up fast for someone building from the ground up..

i made a simulair remark during the final trash of cloud 9 , its hard to put a timeframe on a build as there allways changes and murphy lurking around the corner , all you can shoot for is trying to finish about 3 weeks before sema and hope you calculated enough extra time in with that 3 weeks
same with budget take the highest one and multiply by 3 and you close to the real costs

I will answer all of these at one time.....NO.. LOL, I work 6 days a week 10 hours a day at my real job, and then with 2 kids playing sports and all it really blows any structure right out of the water....IT WILL BE DONE for SEMA...how ? I don't have a clue! I am about to the every night until midnight stage. I have to get all this fabrication done so I can get the other parts to the right people so I don't kill them ie...Kyle "ScreamingChevy" at his shop Laid Back ReCreations will be handling all the paint and body work and I am trying to be very aware of his time and everyone elses that this build will depend on ! Stay tuned, I am sure it will be a fun ride !

The reason I laughed is because even the best laid plans always give way to reality. Murphy never takes a day off.

Always nice to have fresh wires going in your project, especially when you get to pick out the routing. Going to be slick!

On a recent trip I rented a new Infiniti G37 sedan. I felt like an idiot walking back inside to ask where the key went. :lol: The phantom key setup from Painless is too cool!

Well I don't normally show all my SCREW-UPS but since DR. Longbed pointed it out...... and he was right, I thought it was just an optical illusion , but when I got it off the frame table and stood back, it was totally off ! Here is the progress to fix the screw up !
