Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I use www.photobucket.com (Free) easy to upload, stores a load of pics, the forum itself also has storage but being a PC Mumpty I find it tricky to use and a bit slow compared to photobucket.....

filthy boy Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hopefully this will work!! Sorry about the poor picture quality. Panels are GRP with an inner layer of woven carbon and kevlar for strength and to reduce the risk of penetration in a roll. Rear bulkhead (not shown!) is aluminium. There are welded in inner steel pieces to reinstate the integrity of the body shell after removing the rear. FB PS the diagonals are just to stop the body twisting during the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice mouldings (even with the artistic soft focus), this wouldn't happen to be your trade by any chance Do tell more B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I like that, its very neat! I would really like to see some pictures in focus, and with the rear bulkhead on, as I have in mind to something similar with mine in at some point. I guess the roof is a custom panet as well?

filthy boy Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 We are not in the moulding business, but we are entering the offroad vehicle business. We have something else in the pipeline that has taken a few more weekends! All this work was actually done by Butt Man and Robin, their real names. All the panels are custom moulds, grp / carbon / kevlar. Fully seam welded cab. Oh, and we started with a brand new bodyshell The rear will be trayback, linking into a cage. On 35" ET's and with a 2" lift the roofline is about 5.5" lower than a standard disco. Oh, and a fair bit lighter! FB PS I posted the pics because not only can he not take pics he couldn't post them either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does all the height reduction come from the modified roof panel or have you had to do some other tricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthy boy Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 So does all the height reduction come from the modified roof panel or have you had to do some other tricks? The height reduction is just down to the new roof. Sorry, no other clever tricks! FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
