so shipped and recieved !

and I wil keep you updated on the owners progress ..



[quote author=msrwerks board=trekkerbuilds thread=1192477083 post=1200167141]hi corey...
yes! any pics and measurements of the back seat would help a lot! robb has already posted some, but they were of his in his truck. i would like to have some pics of just the raw frame so i can see if i can reproduce it exactly.

thanks for the comment about the avatar! my mom took that picture when we were in NM in oct 2007.

i DID drop it off at line-x this morning and i finally got to look at the whole thing. it looks great just like it is!! several of the guys there could not believe it was cut up like it was and made longer. they said you did a great job! the owner was there and said the longest guess was it would be ready next saturday, but he was pretty sure they would have it done sooner. they are going to line-x over the seams of the side windows like we discussed on the phone. i got the hatch off, the lock out, the trim panel off and the seal off for them. they are going to do the outside and inside of the hatch and trim piece for the hatch.

just finished up taking the crate apart. i have lots of uses for the scrap wood

off to the garage to figure out if i should hang it from the ceiling or build a stand for it to straddle the frame so i can mark the back of the cab!

2 pics of it un-crated at line-x this morning

so Michael finally got it back from line-X



[quote author=msrwerks board=trekkerbuilds thread=1192477083 post=1200795166]Sorry this has taken me so long! i picked it up this morning and got it home with no problems. got the seal back on and the hatch back on too. then had to go return the trailer. here are the pics when i first got it home
ran into a small problem putting the latch back in. have to go get new longer screws for it tomorrow. that line-x is pretty thick!

If your looking for a "regular production" (short box) Trekker back 1/2 .. I should have those avaliable to the masses in 2009 . hopeing to bring them to market for ~ $4500.00 .

so Michael has posted some progress .. Because of the line-X , things didnt quite fit right , but there comming together .




[quote author=msrwerks board=trekkerbuilds thread=1192477083 post=1201447016]Finally got the hatch closing as it should! lots of creative filing and some grinding. still might need to do some more work on the seal lip, but for now i am just going to concentrate on getting it on the frame and hooked up
