Ok, just saw your Aug 12 pic with the bed on - must have missed that one (doh).
So anyway, knowing how my spokes fit in the back, how well do your tires tuck up into the rear fenderwells? For mine I ended of flairing the sheetmetal some, cutting out the little braces and adding trailer fenders on the inside to get the bed to fit over the tires when layed out.

thanks for looking guys

My fuel and air tank sit about 6" from the floor when its fully layed out. The rear rims are a tight squeeze, I used some steel to slightly flare the box sides in order for them to clear, the tires almost touch the lip on the top of the box! Thanks for the compliment about my skill level! I feel that i have come a long way since the start of this project! hoping for some more progress this week.

Thanks for looking!

In regards to the floor for now its just has a section chopped out to clear link bars and notch but i plan to do some sheet metal work to clean it all up and then possibly ad a tonneau cover. Today is my first of 10 days off so expect some major updates, Today i am finishing some gussets and the compressor mounts and tomorrow im going to be painting the frame/link bars and soon assemble/plumb/wire everything!

Already have some new pictures for your guys

Check back soon for another good update

Look forward to your next post, and of course the pictures that go with it! Those gussets really add to the overall appearance of your work.
