90's throw back....Manche build

[mcutler]

Had to get out of the interior today. Trying to sketch and imagine interior paneling and dash/ plumbing/ wiring layout has exhausted my brain power the last two evenings. Hung 6-7 more tubes today. As far as I can get under hood til radiator arrives.

Some of Patooyee's head plates would fit nice right behind those 2 bars for added rigidity.

I had thought about that. If I had rigid mounted everything that would be a no brainer. But since everything is in bushings, going to stay with the three legged approach for flexibility in the drive train.

Thanks 5 bros.

Lots done today. All the triangulated lacing on the back half is done. Still a little work to do to mount the bumps. Went ahead and slugged the roof line for C pillar (.188), and got drivers side bent and fit. Just a few gussets and tubes left for the interior and the roof goes back on.

Can finally get rid of that damn blue tape...

Mo work. Finished the second C pillar, got the door bars in and one window bar. (Door bar will most likely be removable at a later date. )

Hey matt, with the goat built subframe, what did your frame side vertical separation end up at. I'm working on mine now and trying to figure out my upper placement on the frame side.

You may have covered this already, but where is the fuel cell going? In that rectangular area behind the cab? You going to keep any tools or spare parts on it?

Big thanks @ol'Jeeps for banging out these tube gussets for me last week and getting my radiator sped in. Got the gussets installed today. Couple more tubes and I can finally get the cab back on.

Yes, that's where the cell will go. There will be an aluminum tool/parts box behind the spare. Also will be spare drive shafts on board.

Last couple gussets and bars done inside, roof heading back home.

Thanks guys.

Working on the bedsides as we speak. Cab is welded back on. A pillars of the cab will have some reinforcement treatment to be applied; I think it will be pretty trick. Have some pics for ya tonight, not outside unfortunately. Hopefully in next two weeks have a true full roller with shocks mounted and cycled. Then I can move into the other bay to finish up the sheet metal/ plumbing/ wiring.

Btw, that's some funny ****

Re:

I'm guessing the cell won't sit low enough, but reusing the factory fuel door would be a badass detail.

Interested in seeing the a Pillar reinforcement, as I will need to do the same to mine. I've got a few ideas, but always interested in something new.

No, won't work, but I'm thinking of building a lightweight compartment for the tree saver and shackle in the door, or possibly the air hose.

Hard to describe in type, but think of something like this attached to the A pillar tubing, (the rib cage area)

Basically sectioning with .125 the A pillar, then plated like this, wth the factory "skin" between the plates

And also a overlay on the exterior of the pillar in 3/16.

Lmao, just happens to be the best way I could describe it without a pencil and paper. Maybe I can get in the shop tonight and get started on a side.
