little bit done today <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> started on the frame to support the tub , and tie into the roll bar and seat belts started with building the main supports .. and yes the tops are NOT level . This is due to the uneven fiberglass floor . ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM00172513.jpg) ready to go (4 built ) ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM00172514.jpg) starting to "piece" it all together drivers side ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM00172511.jpg) passenger side is different , because of the fuel filler tube .. had to be routed over top . ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM00172512.jpg) all sectioned together and ends plugged ... I have too very strong mounts ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM00172515.jpg) and mounted ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM00172516.jpg) still have to build the cross bars ... But it will have to wait till after I pull the tube off for rienforcing .. the glass will add to the thickness of the tub , so I cant build the final floor support untill the tub is done .. .

excellent day ... got my check list done... feet welded on the bar ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM00172522.jpg) and my goal today was to have the seats basically done.. I have welded the locks and covers .. (you can see in the pic) lock button supports welded headrest supports welded seat back cushions "carved" and fitted ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM00172517.jpg) also got the roll bar mounts done.. well tacked anyway ... I decided I didnt need the "swivel joints" anyway .. the sub frame is mounted on rubber bushings , and the whole tub will flex as a unit .. good to go !! ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM00172518.jpg) also started work on the rear tub member ... I dont think the thickness of the glass will be a problem , as the underside on this section is almost done anyway .. still have to weld it ... but heres were I finished up the day at ![[Linked Image]](http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2/bj_bumperboy/MY%20Trekker/IM00172520.jpg) sorry for the crappy pics... my "good" camera took a dive for the worst .. so i'm dealing with my phone for now .. .
