I got some more pictures for you fellas...
I fixed my dangely fuel spout today. I got it to stand straight out, hahaha.
It's a little angular, but it works, and is temporary until I get the gas tank on the bed.

I would agree that sheet metal would be a better fix
yea think?!?! of course, without piat it would make a charming skylite.

STEEL.
I got the center section welded in. It's too dark to paint, so I hope it doesn't rain tonight, or tomorrow.

There you go a metal roof. 
Looking good.
Ah your fuel thing is just temporary and it serves the purpose for now.

My wife said it looks like crap! I thought it was cool! what does she know...she's a girl!
Hey why not put a super-short, bobbed-in-the-rear pickup truck bed on the back? You welded your back doors shut anyhow...if I get time later I'll photochop something.

hey buddy I left that dash pad on your hood, no one was home.
the spout doesnt look that bad in person, run a tube from the back of the doors at that hight and run it around the bed like a little 'rim' for the bed woulf re-enfoce it and tie it in.
bed sides are not a bad idea, sorta like what daryl 'boggerless' has, although his is a truck and he has no bed the sides just sit there.
although with bed sides it would look more like an avalanch and less like a one off burb tank

Man I came walking into my sudivision, and saw the dash pad on the hood.
I nearly wet myself, I am so giddy right now, hahaha. I think that thing is gonna distract me. I really want to start work on it immediately...
And I though about bed sides. I thought about keeping it full width, and about put bed sides on the width I presently have.
I would like to see what it would look like.
I don't know what I am going to try and tackle today, but I'm sure there will be pictures...
HAHAHA!!!
Well it isn't the sexyest thing in the park, but I am diggin' the truck as it is so far.

It's been a wile since I posted up... Sorry guys...
I have been working on my truck though, a little here, and a little there. I just couldn't find the camera, so I decided not to post up...
I have the magority of the roof up now. I have have to fill in one more gap with a piece of metal.
I am going to call in sick tomorrow... My dads car threw the timing belt, SO I am going to say I am stuck in chatham and he is getting it fixed, and I am going to be in tuesday... hahaha. They'll hate me but screw it, my next order is going to be a crappy build, and I don't want to deal with it on a monday, hahaha.
Here's the roof.

OH! and I have started to strip the dash... There is going to be a little somethin' extra done to it so I can mount my speakers cleanly, and save some room for switches, and gauges too...

It was 6 degrees celcius last night... And right now it probably closer to 19 or 20.
It's nice though, slight breeze, not a cloud in the sky, bright and sunny. Perfect working conditions.

For sure man!!!
But I have no camera now!!!!!
My brother took it on me about 20 minutes ago.... And I won't have it for tomorrow either, because he isn't coming back home tonight... But I will take more as soon as he gets back on tuesday.
I am working on getting that last gap filled as we speak, so the roof will be all closed in, in like a half hour or so...
You have no projects on the go right now??
It'd be a fine day for wheeling too. GOD I wish I had this thing finished....
