as promised here a update
i finally got some time to install the roof last week-end

i got away with one seam in the midle, it's not seal welded yet i ran out of
CO2 for the mig Embarassed

i did finish the new dog house (not fully welded also)

i must admit the wife was right (some time Wink

) that interior style look better

finally here the panels i'm building to dress up the tunnel, i'm leaving 1/2"
gap for insulation

Is everything tacked in place? If so, how will you get an A/C unit or other items into the dash? Through the glovebox hole? Looks great! How long did it take you to build? Did you build cardboard templates first?

mr_goodwrench_06"
it will get painted with wrinlke finish paint

capps
the passager and dash dog house are only tack together for assembly purpose only
Once I?m satisfied with the fit it will get separated and holes be drill for a bolting
Yes it started as a cardboard job (well you now me and my cardboard)

yeah being a senior draftsman for 30 years would definitely help out. I actually just got done designing mine in autocad (I too am a drafter but only with 2 years exp)
