Alright Ive not got much done to the shell but I have been trying to find something cheaper and/or lighter to put as a skin and what I I thought about 1/4 inch ply wood covered in fiberglass and realized that would be heavier and more expensive than the aluminum so what I came up with was corrugated plastic I know it sounds like crap but Ive read up on it and I think it will work great it is water and mold/rot proof and its tough it will dent and but they say its puncture and tear risistant (?).. and after the election there is a lot of corrigated plastic signs that get disposed of so I should be able to get all I want for free.... What do you guys think???

well I bobbed the bed and now my fiberglass shell fits so I probably wont finish this build. I did cut it back down to fit the bed now I just dont know if I will ever finish it seeing as the fiberglass one only needs a window in the side and it will be done....I still might build this one just as a project tho.

Look at this thread to see an 84 bobbed 12.5" with 63 chevys under it. Scroll almost halfway down the page to see it.

I hope I can still use my gate!!! dont look like he can unless he notches the gate to clear the frame but come to think of it the gates mount different so I shouldn't have a problem....that is a sweet build!

I put the bracing on hoping to help with the side to side wobble it has and my idea did no good. I made a big X on top of the hoops hoping it would stop the unwanted movement but it did no good I riveted the flat stock to the top of every hoop it touched and where the two crossed I riveted them together with to rivets that way I didnt make a pivot point. here is a picture
any one have a better ideas?
I also think Im gonna put a few of these abovet the back door and wire them into the tail and brake lights...
