[Aussie]

G'Day tracy,

Yeah, all the detail bits to do yet, The right hand dash has got me thinking, But, I'll come up with something, I'm sure

I have got another front lower panel coming, gonna use it to work out how to make a BB!!

Paul

[Cossett]

Well when timmy makes your BB say you want one of the specials that will tilt FWD
Cheers Tracy

[Aussie]

Gonna have a go at it myself first...Eeekkkk!!!

Been in touch with Tim, he is gonna make one for 540-MAN over in Perth, He's gonna let me know how it comes out, might ask him to do mine if I stuff it up!!

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the pic's, gives me an idea what I'm looking at for a BB, didn't think of making the whole front panel into one, I was gonna cut the bottom part off and go from there, this helps a lot.

Thanks again,
Paul

That's awesome, Tracy,

Thank you for taking the time to find and post these, got some great insight into it now...

One BB coming right up!!!

Paul

[Aussie]

LMAO!!! Don't clear a spot just yet, Timmy,

I really wanna have a go at this one first!!

I have made a start...







Just need a pattern of the short & Long uprights so I can cut them out!!

Wanna go for something like Pic's No. 7 & 8 in this link....http://www.chrisbarronengineering.com.au/man.htm

[Aussie]

Hi Tim

I have drawn up the shape of the uprights, gonna get some 6mm Aluminium and try cut them outta that....wish me luck....

Paul

[Aussie]

Well, I got the "other" front panel today, cut it down and this is what I have so far....







Not sure where to go from here, but, I'll work it out...

Paul

[Aussie]

I have spent all day on this and, Unfortunately, it seems that I don't have the tools, Know-how or the skills to complete the project, So, It will stay as a "City Truck" as Tim calls it....Lol!!

[Cossett]

Now Tim has finished mine be has PLENTY of room on the BB bench
1800-BB-TIMMY LOL

Cheers Tracy

I like where this is going Paul, especially with all of the aussie touches you are giving it like the front bumper/brushguard. Are you going to replicate the square fuel tanks as well?

-Alex

[Aussie]

Thanks Alex,

Not sure about the Fuel Tanks just yet, Still trying to work out the Bull Bar, I have spent another day today fiddling with it and I think I got it worked out

Paul

[Aussie]

I think I got it worked out now!!
