Wow that's a really nice rig. Mine won't be quite that nice lol. The outside body is about a 1/4 way sanded.
However the interior is now coyote tan with black accents. It's progressing. I'll be needing to touch up a few spots, reinstall and replace weatherstripping and I'll be done there.
I'm getting excited...thinking of using the pipe and caps for water storage. Well see I'm still developing those plans.

Ok here's my first update in a while. I've spent the last while sanding, bonding, painting and the such. The paint is on nice but my body work isn't great...who cares its a BOV.
As for prep related activities I got all the lights working, red lights inside for night vision. I mounted my inverter, extinguisher, tow straps and hardware, radio, and med supplies in the cab. The electric fuel pump and switching assemblies were dead so I added a manual switch for the two tanks.
I will be adding a cap on the back and some nice tires. Here's some pics...the dash is torn apart due to chasing some electrical gauge issues.

my god that is beautiful...
It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.
that is freaking sweet................

The rig is looking nice. Good work.

You don't need to be the strongest
or the most intelligent to survive
but by having the right tools and
the adaptability of change
is where you will prevail.
Beautiful Job man! Is that a stock 360 with the 2bl carb? Are you running mechanical gauges? The less electronics the better. By the way, that "olive drab" sure do look funny............
As far as the pipes and bumper suggestions are going I haven't heard "spare air" yet. Used as a pressurized cylinder, I have seen that a time or two. It's going to look damn nice when you're done though.
Be safe.............the night is your friend.
