Waiting for the transmission! Rue, you should give your buddy at action transmission a call and lean on him a bit for me In the meantime Im putting everything else back together and planning to add some panels to keep the mud out.

Love the wheel choice, are you going to make all the panels removable?, I seen it somewhere, can't remember now, but they rubber mounted them with a quick release fastener, for easy access to any parts. If you don't mind me asking which bender did you use the 12 ton, or 16, and did you do any mods to the bender. Now you got my mind in over drive. My wife would kill me. Lol

Lol I'm using a 12t pa bender I modified the die to tighten up the tolerances between the die and tube along with increasing the height of the sidewall I also changed pins to the following. The panels will be removable. Just started fitting them.

Decided to gusset the tubes to strengthen the joints and to give me something to attach the panels.

Trying to decide if the panels should be aluminum or painted steel sheet metal. Played around on the computer to see what it would look like. Here are my favourites. The side view with aluminium Decisions, decisions.

Thanks for the bender info. Have you tried yellow panels? and are you putting lites under body for nite time fun?. I bet you won't have any trouble filling the passengers seat on each outing.

I think Partridge Family, kind of wolf in sheep's clothing. ;D Somehow I think you're going to reject my idea.
