Ya i know but i just want this beauty to be done already. Its going to be nice looking, like it just rolled of the showroom floor.

 

so I decided to build a "production mold" afterall ..
one less part to build when I do the other pieces for the trekker body . which means , YES ... anyone with a 79-83 pickup SHORT BOX .. will soon be able to build there own Trekker !!




.

 

Wow his thread is full of goodies. Incredible work slacker

 

thanks ...


.

 

so, question...are you going to run the orginal shell or a new one?

 

New one i hope. That is nice man . what you going to charge for it?

 

Original shell had about a million cracks in the glass (seriously) .. it was 30 year technology , and in very bad shape (see the pics) .. it was absolutly NOT worth saving .. any repair work would have showed threw in a years time .. so a NEW roof with NEW products and resins (tech) will easly last another 30 years .. NEW one for sure .

Yes , New for sure ..
not sure on the cost yet .. still working on a "whole " Trekker package ..
I'm thinkin' the roof alone , as a replacement piece , will run about $600.00 ..


.

 

Nice!

 

Thats what i figured, just thought i ask... glad to see that the trekker is almost done!

 

love the seat patterns man, keep up the good work!

 

thanks ..


.

 

finished up the mold today ..

poped the old roof out



trimmed the edges ,



a little bit more work to "prep" the new mold for maufacture , but basically , I'm now ready to make my new roof


.

 

Awesome work!

 

Nice, now its time to change you sn to hard worker, or The boss. Definatly not slacker!

 

thanks

thanks .. and the name stays .. cuz >>> ONE DAY !!


.

 

Oh so close to completion. Nice job Cory!

 

Very well done man. Looking good.

 

thanks guys ..

shop was full with customer vehicles for the last couple of weeks .. so I havent been able to do much on my own ... but the weekend is comming .. I have been doing some little things ..

I did manage to get my battery hold down finished .. Plastic dipped , and installed




.

 

how did you like the turn out of the plastic dip? i thought about doing this for different things, just never did. But your insight might change that..

 

I like it .. and I will be doing more stuff as well ..

not sure of the longevity yet .. but I think , if you clean it like they say (I sandblasted) it should last a long time ..
