                      | Stan, I'm still got to fab the fire wall, fenders and wind shield. The dump bed may wait a while. |

                      | Ok Guy's, I,ve got a bit more done, but am not sure how I'm going to do the hood and grill. I still need to put brackets on bed for the stake sides plus the dump actuator.

                      | Keith, are you sure you have enough tilt for that to dump?  Even the grabbiest stuff is gonna depart from that bed!  Looking good!
 BTW...figured a name for it yet?

 That's the special place things go when blown to tiny little bits!

                      | I got the 1 1/4" stake pockets welded on and the .060 alum sheets cut for sides and front. I still need to weld the top 1" runners to the stakes. 
 
 
  Here's a shot showing the actuator.

                      | Looking good!  I see you have two seats, will you eventually change it to a steering wheel and move it to the left/right?  I think I see front shocks, but definitely no way to do it in the rear.  How fast you got it to go? |
