Man I can't wait for the weather to break so I can get mine out and start working on it. Your build is getting me wet in the pants to get mine out. Maybe by next year I will have ours done and can load them up for a road trip west to hit the dunes. :beer

I'm getting antsy too. The chassis fab'r dude is only working weekends and last weekend was his 20th anniversary.
He's close though, about to marry the chassis, body and my pan and add in the necessary tabs and mounts for all the seats, belts, yada, yada, yada.

Boys and Toys.

This is gonna be a nice one. :good
