Beautiful work ZZ.
I have a few questions, zz...
Why are theses pieces removable?
This seems like an odd location for a battery. What holds the cover in place and how close is the battery to the axle?
I see hundreds of spot/tack welds... do you weld these joints 100% or blast and seal?
I'm not questioning your methods or your integrity for a minute... just curious how you work and why...
.
Keep the questions coming and I'll keep the BS coming too ..![]()
Thanks for the explanations, zz.
OK. What's with the plywood? Are those pieces going to be exposed and lacquered? Looks to me like cabinet quality oak veneer...
.
Them are floor boards...Yeah, oak veneer, just what I had laying around, they'll just get painted. It's what would have been there originally and they give a more solid feel to the floor.
Looking good ZZ!
Ever since a friend had his battery short out (behind the seat in a pickup cab) and burn the interior out of his truck and some of the paint off the cab, I'm even more of a believer in making the battery accessible. That's not criticism though, yours is nice and clean and looks to be a smart spot.
For sure! Since there is no back seat, it'll just have a flap in the carpet to lift - maybe a quick release for the lid would be a smart move tho.. also some kind of fireproof layer on the underside of the lid and floor around the battery area too. Thanks for the inspiration!
