Someone needs to call TLC, Discovery Channel, Spike or Speed and get RobR a series.

RobR is the Chip Foose of Deuces!

well thanks Guys I would be happy with there budget and all the free parts they get

 

[MO MV man]

With your creativity and ability, you're making a seriously "spartan and heavy duty" rig into a.......dare I say it.......liveable, cushy alternative to mega-dollar "cowboy Cadillac's"!

Being able to look at the M35, see the need, plan for the upgrade and execute it is nothing less than Chip Foose, RobR.

The facilities you have are to die for, man.

I'm half tempted to drive over and visit you, see the M35 (and go for a ride! ) and the faciilities you have.

How how far from here is Tulsa?

Hey Robr, what kind of drivers seat did your truck have originally? If it was a standard box, would you like to sell it?

It was a spring seat but my Deuce tractor has a box seat I may sell it when I make up my mind on what I am doing

ok today

I bonded the nylon offsets to the back of the door panel
drilled & painted them
here they are installed
I did not install the window switches yet as I am looking at other styles

 

[robr]

while I was waiting on the door panels to cure I cleaned up the engine
dont let the last picture scare you its just me in front of the truck lol

 

[jbingvtx]

you don't look like the evil genius I pictured...how about a picture of your pretty truck getting muddy?

I have been trying to get that picture myself it just hasn't worked out yet
all the mud I have had a chance to play in was not picture worthy

lol well by buddy's would say the evil part is right

 

[robr]

here are the switches Im going to use they will be mounted flat on the top of the panel
in a .125" thick Alum bezel that I will paint green well as soon as I make the bezels make

Cool, let me know if you decide to sell it.

robr, great work, the windows are moving quick and sure, not strained and choppy like some others that I have seen installed from a kit. Also, does the under hood insulation help with the engine noise a little or is it a heat issue?

Thanks.

[robr]

it help a little with heat in the winter but it cuts down on the engine noise a lot

I got board tonight and went out and took some night pictures & a quick Video

I believe I'm going to copy your gauge lights. During my deuce recovery I realized quickly why you did that....those little red bulbs are worthless. Do your LEDs have the dim and bright settings?
