Finished up the inner fenders
  Working on completing the front sides of the fenders  Cutting up and using another trailer fender  Used the planishing hammer to round off the cut edge to match the rest of the fender     Going to use some metal mesh to make some compartments in the corners of the bed which will be covered by the bed sides.   http://www.BenModified.com

The passenger side is done!
  Pocket behind the right rear wheel   Welded on some Dzus fasteners for a removable cover over the charcoal canister behind the left rear wheel.  Took the measurements for an Aluminum Treadplate bed floor. Going to the big city soon to pick it up. They have a huge shear so I can get the size I want and nice smooth lines.  http://www.BenModified.com http://www.facebook.com/BenModified

Sprayed the frame rails under the bed floor with some aerosol bed liner. Also drilled and tapped all the bed floor mounting points and bought some nylon washers to place between the bed floor and frame rails to allow air floor and prevent moisture accumulation.  1/4" Aluminum Bed Floor   Started playing around with an idea for the headlights. I made up a reversible locking spring loaded headlight mount to secure some polished bullet headlights. When rotated back, they resemble the dagmar bumperettes.      And started making up the under the cab lower rails.  Benmodified.com

Yes, but I am legal even without the glass as long as I am wearing eye protection. Seat belts are not required as the VW did not have them from the factory. Last edited by Ben Modified : 05-01-2016 at 11:30.

Installed the Safari Windshields today.
 Fabricated a couple of outboard mounts and welded to the roll cage. Much stronger than stock.  http://www.BenModified.com

Wow nice progress, the welding looks very good. The sound is nice are you mounting any other pipes to boost the noise

No, the noise is already sufficiently boosted! The camera just doesn't do a good job of recording it. Last edited by Ben Modified : 11-01-2016 at 11:17.

I finally got around to re-covering the seat frame for the truck. Got tired of riding around on a piece of cardboard! I went ahead and installed seat heaters while I was at it.
