I thought I would finish up the trim job for seat/leg clearence. I used part of the piece that was removed to help stiffen up the rear panel. Seemed to work good.

I almost didnt know what I was looking at there at first. Did you do all the work with the glass in? How are you going to smooth out the ridges? Nice work!!

I don't think he is. That will give it extra strength. Do you lose any seat movement you were trying to add though?

But He's gonna box the ridges in....Right?

ebfabman 10-13-2005 08:06 PM

Could box them in but really not worth the work, besides it makes for a great place to spray a rust preventive coating. The overall gain is still over two and a half inches. Might not sound like much but with long legs every bit helps.

Impressive...
Now you can fit an even LARGER fuel tank in there :D j/k

I saw a similar job done on a '67, except the guy covered the entire inside with diamond plate. It was a little over done. What do you have planned for the bare metal?

ebfabman 10-14-2005 08:59 PM

Just clean up the cab, epoxy prime, and paint. The seat will cover most of the rear panel. Maybe some lightweight sound deadening across the rear, but not diamond plate...... :lol:
