The Shop Truck

1971 Chevy C20 with a custom flat bed.
We made a lot of progress yesterday, it's much easier when I have a helper in the shop with me and yesterday I had two. We finalized the rear window and tinted it. I used Vivvid headlight and turn signal tint as it's designed for lexan. What I didn't realize is that it's not clear, everything is blurry looking through it. Unfortunately I would have had to delay finishing the roll bar to do something different, so this is what we're going with for now. It's the back window and I have the dumbo ears so I'm not too concerned with visibility.

We had to cut the top of the front of the bed off in order to be able to drop the roll bar down enough to weld the tops of the hoop. I was hoping to not have to do that, but once we got to this point it made sense. We made the call to cut it off so it wouldn't be blocking any of the window anymore. Once we dropped it down I was able to finish welding the rear down bars.

In other news, the wheels showed up yesterday and they look fantastic!

I can't wait to get the tires mounted and see how they look.
