Operation 'STRIP THE SON OF A B!TCH' commenced with gusto!!





--- Updated ---

Cabin and firewall were in the way...so its adios to them!!





--- Updated ---

Front section of the roof will be worked into the B pillar and roofline!





--- Updated ---

The garage looked like a war zone so a clean up was in order!!



--- Updated ---

The rear cab wall was the next to go. The floor will be extended and the cab wall mounted vertically.....might squeeze in a jet ski or a go cart and tool boxes









--- Updated ---

A quick trip to the wreckers for some floor sections......i'll be making a chassis instead of using the original ute chassis.......saves on weight! Using the same mounting points as per factory!



The last few months have been really crap weather, so it was put on hold for a few months.....but got in there recently and stripped the rest of the shell and made a frame ofr mounting the spare wheels





--- Updated ---

That brown/orange above the rims is a rust repair section ive used to extend the channel all the way around.......hopefully it'll look factory sorta styling.

I'll be grafting a section of bonnet and nose cone and blending it in with the quarters......body lines are giving me all sorts of dramas...but i'll get it!!!
