    I just saw this truck parked in my home town today and saw the RUclips sticker on the back so I checked out the build video. Nice work🤙🏾

    Q: what's the reason for those "speaker holes" in front of the rear wheels in the first inner panels you put into place?
    Added lightness?

    • @hesty32
      @hesty32  3 года назад +4

      That is just for access, so you can reach inside the inner fender wells when bolting everything together. Didn't really get the angle on video but I'm reaching through that hole to bolt them to the front bed wall and the forward half of the side walls

      I slightly modified the panels that come with the kit to make the hinged floor panel

    Did you just cut the roof rack off flush and cap the end? How many tubes of panel bond does it use? Thank you.

    • @hestermannmotorwerks
      @hestermannmotorwerks 2 года назад

      I moved the roof rack base forward, installed a couple more rivenuts, then cut the rails off even with the back of the cab. I used 2.5 tubes of panel bond

      @@hestermannmotorwerks - do you think it is feasible to do the same thing (move front base forward) but use the back base with just a short stub of pipe in between?

    • @hestermannmotorwerks
      @hestermannmotorwerks 2 года назад

      @@jeffweller4578 yes for sure. That’s exactly what I did on this one. Used the existing front rivnut as the back one for the front mount and added one for the front. That moved it about 3 inches forward. Added a mount in the middle using a rivenut and a piece of pipe shaped to fit on both ends then two new rivenuts for the back mount. Was playing with spare tire on the roof so I wanted 3 mounts on each side. Turned out it looked goofy with the big wheel on the smallish cab roof so I ditched the idea

    The beetle ute was better but this one's great m8 you're a legend. And a question because you don't use welding instead of rivets

    • @hesty32
      @hesty32  3 года назад +3

      The kit is aluminum and the car is steel so you can't weld them together. I use 3M panel pond in most all of the joints and that is amazing stuff. It might surprise you how much modern cars are glued/epoxied together. The rivets and 8 mm bolts come with the kit. But I often add a few more or swap in some stainless steel rivets for the aluminum ones just for a little more piece of mind. Never had any issues though.

      thats not a simple question really but probably 30-40 hours building it then another 40-50 hours finishing it both interior and exterior. But I added a few customizations
