I have 20x11 in the rear. I had to widen each tub by 3" (I think). Here are some pics of the cover for the rear notch. I also had to cut about 4" from the middle section out of the 3rd row seat. Hope that helps

Thanks Bret,

I'm further along than the photos show but It's taking me a while to post progress on here. We should definitely meet up sometime. I really like your build.

Accuair setup. Credit goes to my friend Zach Airth (Airth Defined Hot Rods). He does awesome work. The wood is in excellent shape for being nearly 50 years old.

Putting stuff together for the final time.

Been working on my in the dirt and snow. Looking forward to seeing how you'll be doing the 3rd seat.

**Hart_Rod** · 03-06-2018, 08:59 AM

Fantastic job! Can't wait to see this on the road,

Heat shields for the air lines

**rubberbandit** · 03-07-2018, 02:59 AM

I know some of these images might be out of order, but I've done a pretty lousy job at organizing them, so just go with it.

**Advanced Design** · 03-07-2018, 08:00 AM

Looking very good!

**Hart_Rod** · 04-11-2018, 09:51 AM

Looks good! More updates,

I wish the bottom of my truck looked like that. I kept getting rust flecks in my face when I was underneath it the other week, mainly from the exhaust.
