More progress,opinions?(NEW PICS,MORE PROGRESS)

[Volksrod]

OK decided to start on the hard top for the rear...dug the roof out of a snow/ice drift,looks like it would cover the back if layed sideways,layed my hood on there to see what it would take to go all the way down to the bottom of the existing deck lid,LOTS of fab,way too narrow and too short.I may be able to use the roof steel to make a solid cover for the rear,i want to get rid off the raised portion right above the decklid,problem being the decklid hinges are attached to it.hmmm...

dang ive never built anything like the hard cver your talking about. but i have been wanting to do something like that fr a long time. but i wanted to make a hebmuller volksrod roadster. that much metal fab is over my head though. id ke to learn how to make stuff like that though

[Volksrod]

Well theres no going back now,considering several options,one being a shallow "truck" bed lined with hardwood and steel.Can you remove the dogghouse tin without dropping motor?

[kompressorgolf]

you can, but its sure a pain.

[Volksrod]

these out to come in handy,bit the bullet and bought them today

[HOTRODKID91]

I would just drop the motor it would be faster u wouldnt half to pull ur top half of ur motor apart and u will have a lot more easy access to ur luggage tray

[Volksrod]

yet another new concept Im trying out,trying to incorporate some woodwork into the project.Im going to cover all the particle board with a hardwood veneer and stain it real dark inside gloss black metal frame.The front portion will cover my sub box and the rear will be open almost like an open rumble seat,maybe mount an old school wheel spare in there.

[kompressorgolf]

NICE, looking good, loving the ideas!

[Mikewire]

Very cool - I like watching your progress

[Volksrod]

Got most of the wood work done and contoured the corners of the frame,started my engine bay cleanup and incorporated a cool air scoop into the rear deck.
