Fab, it's easy. 3 2X4s and 2 sheets of plywood. Don't worry, I'll take pictures

I usually weld up a few lengths of steel pipe + L channel together myself. If you're making it out of 2x4's I gotta see that...

I've seen steel ones before, but never a wooden one. Can't wait to see the pics.

OK, Considering how light the shell is I can see that happening.....Sometime the "ghetto way" is the "betta way"

In it's current state I'm pretty sure it would have fallen apart, so that's why I haven't done that yet. I would think being unibody it would warp if it had the engine or interior installed even if it was solid

wow ! i would of never thought of that ! thats so kewl it's simple!! I still wonder how much effort is used to push it over? I also wonder if a complete circle attached to the front and rear where it rolls like a barrel would work as well also? thanks for the pics. Tyler

Well I stopped in at the body shop today to drop of my diesel rabbit (old daily, now organ donor) and was happy to see my truck in the garage. He estimates another 2 weeks before he is done the welding so I can build my rotisorie to flip it

I forgot my camera though so no progress pictures

I don't think it will be done in time for me to take it to school so I'm trying to organize some backup storage options where I can also work on it, or at least get it in good enough condition to bring it to school and park it in the parking lot and work on it

My brother is getting his car painted by the same guy so I drove out with him so he could get home. Here are some pictures of the journey

gassers... always filling up :lol:

And of course

And my old daily, so gladly willing to give up its organs for the truck

50 something buick IIRC, it's for sale. There's a 58 chev pickup beside that one too
