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...

well things were set back by a day, my wife went into DMV and they gave her more paper work to fill out and get signed, its the luck of the draw when you go in there, so today I went to the dmv near us and got a very nice lady and I now have my sticker of operation so if I can get the bed and fenders on it I will make it to cruisin grand tomorrow. 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...

Ah, you'll make it! You, my friend, are one of the people I want to meet in person next time I'm out west! Of course, once I see your shop, I'll never leave... You haven't built anything yet that I didn't over! Eric

well thanks Eric I think I might be a few hours away from having it the way I would like to have it ready. the big problem I have is it really takes 2 people to bolt on the rear fenders and I dont think I can get anyone here till later in the day. 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...
