A3 Crew Cab Build Starts

[HanksDeuce]

Looks really good! Are you going to put more metal between the front and rear windows so that when you roll them all up you don't have a breeze?

 

[ApopkaFL]

I just noticed from the side view that your mounting brackets I was talking about earlier is actually thicker then it looked from the first pics. It dont look like you should have a problem that we have had with the thin gauged civilian bracket. Who did yours? I know you are local, maybe I can send them more work when my friends need thiers done.

man i've saved your pics. its exactly want i want to do except shorten the frame and do a hmmwv slant back style suv. still trying to figure out the frame flex issue. it wont be doing any heavy duty offroading as this one will be the camping rig to haul the trailer

 

[ApopkaFL]

I dont plan on doing any off roading as well.

The U strap mounting bracket that holds up the drive shaft bearing to the framing. Most are built with a thin strapping and any wobble there strips out the mounting bolt holes.

Its getting ready too paint soon. I built a sun visor today out of sheet metal. It was my first time so please be genital. I finished up the rest of the metal work inside. I remove the rear cab support from the back of the A3 cab and put it in today also. Still in limbo on a color for the truck.... Seal Team Six Tribute! check it out.

You really don't want me to be GENITAL do you? I've been called a lot of things, but never genital.

It's a wonder what you can do until you jump right in and do it.

Starting to look alot more like the drawing

 

[ApopkaFL]

I can tell every one of you, Body work is for the birds. I would rather build 20 of these then do body work, I have been sanding for two days straight...

 

[SGT LongT]

With the hurricane dropping rain on us I guess it will be wet sanding then

 

[ApopkaFL]

Funny thing is I have not seen any rain here.

 

[ApopkaFL]

Almost ready for paint. I did add some bondo graphics today.
