Damn.... How many hours did it take to remove everything?

 

About 8-10 hours total. Definitely was not fun.

Got everything vacuumed out and cleaned up. Still had a half hour of daylight left, so i figured I’d start building right away! Not much but got some pieces cut to be bolted down to start to build off of.

Made some more progress. It’s not all glued in but that’s roughly how the floor of the wall will be. I took some vacation from work so I’ll be working on it all day tomorrow. Hope to get the floor all done and start on the sides and top. 

Its coming together a lot faster than I thought. Really excited to get this done  working in the winter sucks. But it has been in the 30’s here all week so not too bad. Got some nice lights to work with when it’s dark. Don’t mind the shitty pics. Phone sucks taking pics at night.

Small update. Got the sides cut and glued together. Working on figuring out how I want to do the roof. Either a wood roof and then attach sides to that, or just a standard double layer top to the wall.

I also installed a set of helper springs to help handle the weight. One set installed. Have another set to install if I need it. Super easy to do I was surprised. Raised up the back a couple inches

Nice man. I'm following. I am planning something similar but don't quite know if I have the room. We will have to see. Excited for the updates man.

Progress has been slow with the cold weather finally setting in. Was able to use a small propane heater inside my truck to warm it up enough to start my wood roof. First layer is 1/2” mdf. Second layer is 3/4 mdf. 3rd layer will either be 3/4 or 2 layers of 1/2”. So roof will end up being between 2 and 2.25” thick.  

Once the wood roof is all done I’ll be able to get the sides permanently mounted and things should start moving pretty quickly after that.

Layer 2:

Been a while since I updated. Been dealing with either -50° Weather or 3 feet of snow fall. So I haven’t done much to it in the last month. Got the wood roof finished. Final thickness is 2.25” thick. Then got the sides glued into place and connected to the roof with 45’s. 

Still a lot of work to be done, but the next step will be a second layer of 45° on top, attach the back sides, then work on fiberglassing over the wheel wells.

Keep it up man, making progress.
