We Have Panels

Propane lines ran for the tanks that will be on the back platform outside of the box

    

We will have two 100lb tanks for each side of the truck.

We how have parts to start putting on the skins. We are using .08 gauge 3003 aluminium for the skins on the box and had the parts lazier cut and formed by BBC Steel in Canby.  

Back Wheel-well cutout and bottom of the rocker formed up. (Looking at it upside down.)

The stair treads made out of 1/4" aluminium. 

Test fitting the back wheel panel. We have plans on rolling the inter fender to match the look of the front fenders, and will be finishing out the inside of the fender well.

This is the top panel that will be part of the cargo door opening. Had the openings for the door hinges partially cut out so that when formed it didn't get distorted.  

A look at them after they where cut out.

The part being test fitted. Went to start working on the rocker and side pieces and had some issues on the fitment, so we had to have them reformed. Meaning we have to wait at least a week before we can get back at it.

While we wait for our parts to be reformed we needed to switch gears and decided to layout the rest of the box. 

All wrap up and ready for some body lines to be draw out.

We have two body lines, one that will match up with the truck body line and the other to make a transition between the painted part to the polished aluminium

. 

Made some profiles out of clay to get a feel of what we wanted.

The layout on the back part of the truck. From the bottom of the rocker to the bottom of the first line will be painted red. From that line to the top of the last one will be black and everything above that is polished aluminium.

With our lead times running about two weeks on parts that we have formed we decided to get ahead of the project and start to layout some more parts that we will need. This will be the back panel of the truck that houses the taillights.

We are working on some cool things that we have planned for the taillights. Stay tuned.
