Had to get your attention to certify its trugginess  Had the day off work, so I got busy with the truggy   Bench seat bottom. Willy's big butt seems to have squashed it a bit. When I said something he just said "look who's talking" and gave me a dirty look. So I tore his arms off til he apologized.  Floor pan  Power brakes, topped up with silicone fluid.  Got this in the mail...  ...and stashed a battery in it.  Body mounted, engine compartment gets a little paint. You can see the alternator I made, too.  Willy apologized, so I gave him back his arms. He looks a little cramped in there. He might be happier in a Club or Crew cab, but I remain unsypathetic. Lil bassard hurt my feelings  |

Should be in the high 30's at least. I'm still tacking on the scale points  Joined the upper & lower firewall  Ammo box conceals the ESC and wires  Battery tray could use a cleaning  Interior shot. Ordered up a set of 1.55 tires & wheels, too. |

Coat hangers? They're holding the mesh bed floor in place:  Found this fuel tank out in the yard. I think it's out of that old Datsun:  Installed with filler neck, cap and skidplate:  |

Reserve fuel:  Hey Willy, I got the one fuel line hooked up, what about this other one?  Just stick a golf tee in it. |

|  Taillights (Willy could only find one blue dot but that's cooler than none)  A little hard to see, but I filled in the existing scratches with silver. New scratches will remain white.  These 1.55's seem a little small. My belly clearance is no better than a Hi-Lift now...  Just kidding. I put them on so I could get to the axles while installing the hardlines...  And the flex line.  Dual-outlet Flowmasters, bent, booger-welded and cracked pipes.  Bug guard with a shout-out to the original build. |

More work on the engine room:  Steering box, shaft and rag joint  Heater box and hoses  Hillbilly overflow tank I've been putting this off long enough, finally worked up the dexterity to do it:  Fan belt made from .020 half round, rust in the unused grooves.  Overall engine compartment shot |

Nice! I wish I had some tail lights so they could get cracked on the trail.

| Nice build
So does the motor look like a motor or does it do anything? I like the way you paint over the glue insted of cleaning it up first as well. you have a lot of time into this build and that is a short cut most woundn't take, gutsy move on your part. or is it bad painting I'm not to sure here. |
