Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Figured I'd check your build thread out. Man this thing has really come together huh. I'm all about doing with what you have. I have so much more respect for someone that does something on their own than someone who pays someone else to do it. Don't get me wrong. Somethings need to be left to professionals if you don't know what you're doing or don't have time but it looks like you got all that covered.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Thanks man. as I've said before, it really means a lot. Between the two of us, myself and my brother, I don't think there's anything that we haven't done. Started at a young age working for our dad in a tv repair business, and he was one of those people that did everything himself. I had grandfathers and uncles that were in the autobody field. I worked at a couple of dealerships. My brother's been a carpenter for over 30 years. Before that, he worked in the mills fixing their machines. Ive worked in telecommunications the last 5 years of my working career before retiring due to disability. You won't see me in any of these pictures except for the big orange blot in the third picture lol. And once again, thanks. It's truly a pleasure.

We mounted angle iron along the bed rails, the two sides and the back of the bed. Built a frame out of pressure treated 1x2's. Went to a local sign shop and got some aluminite(two pieces of aluminum sandwitching corregated plastic, very light) scraps, in other words signs they had discontinued or was no longer able to use. Come in 4x8 sheets 3/8's inch thick. $20 for two sheets. Screwed it down to the frame, added a sheet of plywood underneath for strength and mounted it on the bed Plan on covering it with tonneau cover material bought online.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Thanks guys. Didn't get to use the smaller one that's in the back of the bed due to size. So we're gonna have to reconfigure the speakers that were in it. That's just the center console.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Wow, just read through all of this for the first time (other times I just looked at pics). You have done all of this from a 2 bedroom apartment? I am truly impressed man! I can't see how some do it from home in a garage or shed or small shop building, let alone in a parking lot.
Looks good man. |
Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Thanks
Yeah, believe it or not it was done from a two bedroom apt. There were times my nephew could barely squeeze in his room. lol And I appreciate your kind words. Means a lot. |
