Re: GRIZZ’s English 2001 S10 Extra Cab 4.3 V6 Truck

Spent a large chunk of time over at Unit Engineering in Queenborough on the Isle of Sheppey yesterday recharging my manliness batteries.

Went to drop off the three remaining bags of blast media that I never used on the chassis, and tomspend time with mate Darren and some car guys.

Also went to convert the CAD pattern pieces into 6mm steel plate.





Darren just bought in a 2.5 meter bed folder.



Amazing how it folds the steel like it was some toilet paper.

Effortless.



Done.



I will trim the plate to fit both in length, width and height before welding it all together.



Triangulated gusset goes at the rear, against the chassis.



Total overkill, but hey….. it is what was there.

Suddenly windy and chilly today, 2 T-Shirts and a hoody weather now.
