Looking good buddy...Jim

ok how about some progress, fellow board member AJ gave me these GMC letters to use, I think I am going to put them on the floor rise by the tailgate, unless anyone has a better script out of a tailgate including the indented area around the script ?


Started working on the false floor also, it will be covered in Bed wood and Parts, exotic wood ! Compressors and tanks and battery/air ride will all be hidden under the false floor

my friend Chip (Tireblazin) put in several hours (18 man hours between the 2 of us) yesterday helping fit the dash and build filler panels, big thank you to him !

thanks Jim
LOL, well lets not go that far ! Thank you !

Looks like I just picked up a smooth top also, I will go get it on Sunday morning !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Great progress, Mike!! Very talented and imaginative builder!


For those of us not in the know, what is a smooth top? I assume the stock top is "not smooth"? :)

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

yes most of the factory tops were textured, very few were actually smooth, this smooth top will be painted body color instead of the textured white

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

i think there was a guy on here that made his own chevy bowtie by plasmacutting it out of a thick piece of metal grinding it smooth and use inside and the outside to press the shapen in sheetetal using a hydraulic press

you could allso look intoo hydroforming , that uses a pressure washer
works the same way but you need two extra pieces of thick metal and the outside of the cutout and you prolly need to do it outside as water will flow out the mould
to get the sharper edges you stack it bottom plate where the waterjet fits intoo then sheetmetal , then the cutout then the topplate put bolts all trough them and aply waterpressure

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Ah, sweet! Thanks. That should look really nice!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Lookin' nice Mike! The false floor in the back will be a nice place to hide everything; gonna be clean lookin'! :metal:
