I would have thought you'd have the bed be removable . . . but I guess it doesn't really have to be . . .

Ahhhh, my bad . . .
From the pics, it looked like the sheet metal was welded to the frame

20 is easier to bend and plenty strong for a light.

T-test - I should have been driving this by now but my company decided to move me across the country and really threw a wrench into my plans. I lost so much time messing around trying to sell my house buy a new one and getting my new garage unpacked and setup and then finding new suppliers that don't price gouge me(Still need to find a fiberglass and resin supplier). Plus my kids keep me running like crazy. This weekend, I spent all day Saturday at a lacrosse tournament and most of Sunday running them around. ugh.

I get my glass via eBay... comes from Florida and has always been fresh.
ALWAYS FAMILY FIRST!!!
Life's little setbacks will eventually get done!! NEVER give up on ANYTHING.
But always remember---when it's over---It's OVER--DONE with IT!!

Made some progress on my bend. About halfway done with the grinding needed and have my plate mounted up and my plate light. Also got my fuel filters and pumps mounted to the underside of it.
Also got my fuel lines bent up. Used a long 3/8 bit and a 2x4 to straighten my roll up. Didn’t work perfectly but pretty well and it didn’t cost $200 like the tool costs.
I got 6 AN tune nuts and sleeve to finish off my lines but the tube sleeves are way to big. Not sure if I ordered the wrong part or if they gave me the wrong part. Going to be calling the supplier Monday to figure that out. Now I just need to get something to mount the lines to the frame and then make my stainless hoses to finish up the fuel system.

Nice idea using the 2x4.
I have one of the tools and it doesn't work that great either.fletcherson

I made one out of angle iron with patio door rollers... works ok, I like the simplicity of the 2x4!

Been working on some bucket for my tail lights the last few weeks. I’m not sure what percentage of happiness I’m at with these, but they will work for my tail lights for now. I’ll most likely revisit them after I get it on the road.
Started with a ring that I had Ron cut my out. Then took some sheet metal, rolled it, pie cut it, and formed it into a dome. Some welding, some grinding, more welding and grinding and here they are.
