Nov 17, 2013 #23 Ian Member Joined Aug 29, 2012 Messages 910 So I've decided to cut out the back doors (or perhaps just one?) and build in 'gunner positions'. To help with this concept I also cut the back seat in half. The back bed is also assembled.

Nov 23, 2013 #31 Ian Member Joined Aug 29, 2012 Messages 910 Thanks everyone. Since the deadline is creeping up I'll be putting the bike build (back) on hold and focusing on this. One last edition to the scratch building will be a collection of fine wire cloth and brass rod that I just ordered from McMaster-Carr. http://www.mcmaster.com/#wire-cloth/=pi7pzz

Nov 24, 2013 #33 Ian Member Joined Aug 29, 2012 Messages 910 Ok, bit of interior action. Q. What would be your suggestions for an all over filter/wash/something for the interior space, to take the edge off?

Nov 25, 2013 #34 Junkie Active Member Joined Apr 24, 2009 Messages 8,830 Very nice. Great pics too. Yeah, a wash. Well a dark brown wouldn't hurt...boot tracked mud color. I'd start under the seat area to get a feel for how it will behave.

Nov 27, 2013 #35 JohnSimmons For Spud: I was once Merseajohn Joined Jan 4, 2011 Messages 5,645 Yeah nice and crisp, I'd go light brown tones for the wash, my mates old Hilux was full of dust and dirt, as soon as you sat down cement would puff out of the seats lol.
