wow i havent updated this in a very long time.. sadly shes being a donor to build a k5.. i think is has some frame issues and im starting over with a 79 k5.. here she is in her last build state lol some of you might recognize her from the silvana area, i used to own the Silvana Town Tavern...

a preview of one side

i just found a link to an ammo can bbq, i know what one of the 4 will be used for! http://www.instructables.com/id/Ammo-can-stove/

soft canvas back being pieced together (see other thread) also for the bed sides to even up, since i am cutting them, i am taking 4 military ammo cans (2 each side) and working them in. pics of that to follow.

the badass part is the rear mounts swivel back n forth so when im camping i can unpin the roof mounts and have portable shade pics!! this is the pattern the "snap" system is going to be in. snap loop loop snap, its gonna be sick (btw thats just shoe lace to give you the idea, im...

so i went back and got a ribs from a fullsize truck top. i also went and got "common sense snaps" with extra canvas tabs. i have a crazy idea with those and some 550 cord. ill post a pic later. so now im into this an extra 75 bucks. i have everything i need for the most part.

so i guess 4 tents was way over kill, one covers the whole thing. i mocked it all up just now. the sami frame is tube and the top ribs are rectangular, which just so happen to fit over the sami tube. Which made this super easy. All i did was use the frame pieces, and since they were too short...

so far this is my price list: canvas army tent (1 person style) x4 20 bucks ribs from fiberglass top (3 total) & zuki factory soft top bracing (2 pieces) 10 bucks so far im into this 30 bucks. i am doing my own sewing, my own welding, and all my own fab, which helps alot. this is...

im hoping it looks clean when im done. lots of little things to do, and this is my first project like this. Ive never welded, ive never done sheet metal work, this is a first for a lot of things for me. ive never used bondo, or **** so this whole project is one big ass learning experience...

got more done today. i untacked the rear cap cause it was too mega cab like and i hated it. so i got some measurements (thanks guys) and started cutting some more. turning out to be just like a 4 door k5 blazer, im liking it! next up is to finish the tacking and filling, then notch the frame...

rear tail is getting tacked on.. i am also redoing the cab so the sliding rear window fits that i have.
