[Re: CJM] #794319 12/07/07 03:23 AM Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,856 Penticton BC CJM OP Body Damage is Cool so just a few little things to finish up .. Rear "template" removed , focus on the frame . 4 more on the " TO DO" list !! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I got one more scrached off today on the original frame .. there is a felt between the frame and glass .. I suspect it's to silence any rattles or scratching on the rear shield . The old stuff was brittle , crusty , and old .. so I replaced it . a clean frame The new felt and installed it's a real close up .. so dont mind the edges .. you'll never see them .. . 86 4x4 , fiberglass bed , 1/2 doors , hood, etc.. 84 Custom 2WD 400HP supra suspension , full frame 83 Trekker SR5 NEW Trekker forum Re: Our Trekker/Precision conversion is just a little closer ....

The owner got his money's worth I'm sure. Have you calculated total time spent on the labor? I cant wait to see a pic of the entire Trekker once its complete. Thanks much for sharing with all of us. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> 85 4Runner - With NEW Marlin 4.7 Gears!! It's a whole new beast!

To do a 1 of a kind , never pays , cash money . I actually stopped counting after 30 days.. I have about 200 hrs into it . as I told Michael , the new owner , he should be pretty secure in the fact , that I wont be doing another LONG BOX Trekker anytime soon Last edited by CJM; 12/14/07 04:31 PM. 86 4x4 , fiberglass bed , 1/2 doors , hood, etc.. 84 Custom 2WD 400HP supra suspension , full frame 83 Trekker SR5 NEW Trekker forum Re: Our Trekker/Precision conversion is just a little closer ....

I'm trying to gauge how thick I'd need to make a fiberglass shell for design weight purposes. -- Bryan Re: Our Trekker/Precision conversion is just a little closer .... [Re: Bogo] #794325 12/15/07 04:07 PM Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,856 Penticton BC CJM OP Body Damage is Cool anywhere from 2-5 mm .. very inconsistant . sprayed with a chop gun . 86 4x4 , fiberglass bed , 1/2 doors , hood, etc.. 84 Custom 2WD 400HP supra suspension , full frame 83 Trekker SR5 NEW Trekker forum Re: Our Trekker/Precision conversion is just a little closer .... [Re: CJM] #794326 12/15/07 06:01 PM Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 409 The Village B Bogo Mudrunner Ok, cool. I'd been planning 3/16 to 1/4" of vacuum infused hand laid up cloth. Maybe thicker areas where I think I need more strength like around latches, etc. The weight adds up. I need to get a tome on fiberglass construction so I can get a better handle on what to do. -- Bryan Re: Our Trekker/Precision conversion is just a little closer ....
