Very cool! But please don't let Maurie (city yeti) read any more from this thread. He might get inspired again to chop Betsy 4. Betsy 3 is already cut (mitsulvr here on the forums did it) so it wouldn't surprise me if Maurie followed suit. Esp after seeing yours. Looks great! Keep us updated.

With the tail gait filled and welded how is it going to open? Have you rigged in some hinges to flip it down?
How much of the re-enforcement did you cut out of the door? I hear they are heavily re-enforced.

Phil... I don't have the experience it takes to do great work like this, although... I'm going to have to learn how to do body work; I kinda dented in a door following the Sami through the trees. I wouldn't have tried it but Eric told me I wouldn't fit and I didn't believe him... It fit, I just had to narrow the truck a bit.

Keep up the good work Spider! The more photo's the better... I like how it scares Phil.

Welding complete. It's filler time.




The guy in all the pictures and doing most of the work on this project is my brother inlaw. I'm the helper.

That's the kind of brother in law to have around!

The body work is almost complete.Should start priming next week.

Looks great!

That thing is awesome! If I could convert my 4door to something like that, I would have the perfect vehicle and my dog's wouldn't be able to eat the back seatbelts. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

That thing looks awesome. Just the thing to inspire people to do the things they have been thinking about. Keep on posting.

Finished sanding the truck today and took it into the priming booth for a coat of high build. Still lots of work to do but this was a major step towards getting the paint on.

Looking damn good!

What's final color going to be?

Keep us all in the loop, more fun than watching the news for sure <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
