I have to say this is one sick build.
Would you happen to have a sketch of those tube doors? That is almost exactly what I'm looking for in a tube door and would love to have some sketches and dimensions of what you have.

nothing much new..lack of funds, had to put new shoes on my DD..boy.. those 20" wheels really looked good on the truck sitting in the stealership...but damn...are they proud of those tires or what!
So..with that said...im gonna try and finsh welding up the crossmember this weekend.
Also picked up another set of latches to build the rear doors, and the new latch for the rear tire carrier/ can rack.

in ththe garage...yes i have a lap top in here with me..lol
mounting and fabing the rest of my cross member...some how i totally spaced the front drive shaft clearance at esimated full droop
So its off, the center section will have to be turned around for more shaft clearance...and have to wack out the exhaust and move the cat back....oh well. not everything will go as planned.
