Thread: My From-Scratch project

Tweet

I started some of the body. It will have the running boards, and I started the platform that the body sits on and mounts to. The main body should be about 54 inches wide. With the runninng boards, it will be about 74 inches. It wont have a tool box and battery box on the side. It might have the tool box but it will only be about 4 or 5 inches deep so no room for the battery. Still havent decided if it will have one spare tire on the back or 2 on the sides. Depends on if it turns out to be a Phaeton style, or a roadster style. I can get 12 foot 1x2 tubing for $8 each, but I cant get any 1x1 cheap so I have to see what I can do. Also, I need to look for some sheet metal. I may have to wait until I get home from work in December. I think I said before, that I work in the nuclear energy field, so I have to work in Nebraska at a couple nukes from 11Sep to 05Dec and then i'll have the winter off again. I think I'll be getting the engine rebuilt this winter too.
