Beboy, you are turning out to be a little Jay Leno amongst us

find rare vehicles, apply reverse engineering, fabricate the part if the friendly scrap dealer charges a arm and a leg for a unavailable part... super!!

Ha ha Santosh!
The mounted steering box. It has come out quite well though I say so myself.

Neat job! Wouldn't you want to add extra support against the C section, all the way to the steering box top, for lateral stress ?

Hi Jyobeb

Very interesting project I must say! Would follow your updates on this. Really want to see how it turns out to be once completed. Looks so good when raw, I am just curious how awesome it would look!

Thanks Jasmeet. Let's hope it lives upto expectations.
@Lugnut. That specific area of the chassis is a double C section. Do you think I need to reinforce it more? I could always box that part up.

I would be nice I think too. Please box that section.

And work continues. The work on the cabin and the new modified doors.

jyobeb · 13th May 2014, 12:21

Some more pics. Looks a lot better with the sloped windscreen in my opinion.
Purists may consign me to DC hell! !!

A temporary rendering to see how it will look.

JASMEET MATTOO · 15th May 2014, 15:08

It is definitely shaping up nice. The structure looks huge. Am sure once done it will give all the contemporary SUV's a run for their money.

Hi Jyobeb,

Can you post some pictures of the Willys Station Wagon in the background.

Thanks & Regards,

The truck is shaping up well, and I am sure that it is going to be "one of a kind"
