Default How Long

Terry

It several years from start to finish. The cab base is from a C60 converted to the HUP configuration. The inner fenders are unique and I had to rebuild them. The floor and rear body are easily formed and welded. The roof section was made in a jig on the shop floor with new omega/hat channel and new roof hatch. Had good rear fenders, running board and gas tank armour plates, made new gas tanks. Had all five doors and re-skinned four of them.

Default Omega bender

Bob

No project proceeds with out the skills of others. Perry Kitson set me up with a shop that could form the omega channel and he machined the dies and built the bending unit. We found that with a little help with the acetylene torch the channel bent very nicely.
