I recommend GoJack dollies. They are pricy, but you can find them used on occasion. They make moving vehicles around the shop or driveway so easy.

I agree with the recommendation. Bought a set and they make it easy to move a vehicle around in the shop. In fact, my 10 year old Grandson can move a 56 Chevy or current build project around.

Thanks it's been fun building it and I take pride in doing a good job, once. I've got more work to do but that's what winter is for.

Re: 67 long box

No snow for the sled or snow blower, too crappy for the stool, no ice for fishing, might as well get back on the truck. I got the radio and power inverter installed with a custom mount.

New speaker box with a good start on it. It will also have storage on each side.

Thanks, the sled can be fun if there's snow which we still don't have. I've had it to 200kms and past, things a rocket. No snow for two more hours north.

Re: 67 long box

that's crazy you don't have snow were your at. i'm in southern Oregon but at 4000 feet we have had snow on the ground since November with fresh stuff pilling on top once every other week or so with virtually no melting in between falls.

the winter decided to skip your area this year i guess. lol

Re: 67 long box

No real snow this year yet, total of 2-3 inches with maybe 1/2 inch now on the ground. I'm the same geological north as the middle of Oregon. I'm south of Toronto in Ontario.

Re: 67 long box

I carried the three bar look I did on the door panel around the face of the speaker box. Added two access panels for corner storage. It's a good thing I learned wood working in high school, to bad it was 30+ years ago.

Re: 67 long box

Had to go ice fishing and take a break. Back at it, I made up the first corner filler piece and it seems to fit well, one more to make. starting to take shape.

Re: 67 long box

That speaker box is looking sweet, can't wait to see it finished. Same thing around here with the snow, we haven't had anything to talk about since December.

The jack stays in the same spot and a new extinguisher for some added safety.

Thanks, I liking the way it's going but the design keeps changing on the fly. It was 60 deg. here and the flowers are coming up. Shop doors open all day.

Re: 67 long box

Nature of the beast, normally takes twice as long as it should for me to build something. Been so nice out I got started on yard work and haven't made it out to the shop to work on the truck.

Re: 67 long box

Almost ready to cover it. Lots of sanding to contour the three ribs but it's all worth it, then cover it all with the seat.

Re: 67 long box

I got it all covered and on the first try every piece. Nicest piece of work I've ever done. You don't know what you can do till you try. It still needs hinges to level the doors and they are being made tomorrow.

All installed and it looks great. I finished the wiring and it sounds great. A+ job. I cut the hinges from blank piano hinge.
