Quote: ron, how heavy is that bed cover & what struts did you use ? i'm going to weld the back doors into a one pc unit on my humpback and hinge it like a minivan. the bed cover is not real heavy, its made from 1/2x 1 1/2 thin wall tubing and 1" angle iron with 1/4 plywood,foam and vinal, I would guess its around 50 lbs the gas shocks I had laying around but I think they are from a rear hatch omni or horizion or charger (again ) but they work great Ron...

I want to get some coats of spray filler on it and block it down soon. There has not been much hobby time for me this year. We have been quite busy at work and i've been taking the extra hours while I can. I bought a house last month, once my bank account recovers a bit there are some things I want to buy for the car. Always great to see the progress on your stuff. Hey Eric how is The Haze? Is it close to being back on the street?! Graham

I need to mount the bed and bolt on the fenders and put on the tail lights and the back window for the sticker, add some more gas and make its maiden voyage Ron...

I plan to keep working on it and if someone shows up I will put them to work holding the wrench for the fender bolts I cant wait till its done so I can get back on "ALL" the other projects. Ron...

OK its 3 PM friday and it looks like I might get it finished enough to take it to crusin Grand tonight I got all the fenders back on and bolted up,I got a rear view mirror in it and its back on the ground and running. I need to go out and get 10 gallons of gas for it and look for a outside mirror, I might put in the new spark plugs and clean the carb with some carb cleaner and then I was planing on taking it for a shakedown run. but my son took his ratrod today and left his work van parked right in front of the gate and he has the keys with him so I will have to wait till he comes home befor I can test drive it but at least it very very close to being on the road now Ron...... I'll get some more pics of it when I get it out of the side yard here are a few more for now

I started out of the street and hit the gas and the throttle cable broke so I ideled home and made the fix and washed the truck up and took a shower and headed to cruisin grand, it ran fine and temp stayed nice and low, it got a lot of looks and everyone wanted to know how the headlights worked made it there and back with out any problems maiden voyage turned out AOK Ron....
