Did you have to raise the bed at all to make the porterbilt and accuser fit and work?

It's currently just cut out, but yes you definitely have to cut/raise it. Going to have a raised floor on it soon.

Yep. For the big Porterbuilt notch and to fit the fuel tank. The framing in the back is just there to stabilize it while I work on getting it done correctly.

I'll have to look for more photos of when it was put together, but this one was taken after the initial primer... was still wet at the time.

Oh.. yea, it's heading to SEMA :uhmk: Here's the updated rendering and all the awesome sponsors on board, but whether sponsored or not, I would definitely recommend all these companies!

A few more photos... insulation by Quiet Ride Solutions and rubbers by Precision and the fellas over at Something Sik Customs have been doing most (or all lol) of the work lately to help speed up the process and get it done... oh, yea... also documenting the bigger parts of the build.

It's taking shape... I wrapped one side this weekend with 3M Gloss White Aluminium (the top silver half). Beginning to look a bit more like the rendering, only a couple of weeks left.
