 Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2010 5:41 pm Post subject: A&T Singlecab |
 |
|
So I've had this singlecab at my office, since April 2009, originally bought as a parts car by Glenn A. It quickly became part of my stable, again, always with the intention of being a parts car.
Fast forward June of 2010, Leana and I had just finished working on the Coram Rug Works and we still had some fuel left in the tank, so I figure, if I haven't cut that piece of crap up in a year and half, chances are, I'm not gonna cut it up at , so I finally went and inspected it thoroughly and although it is really rotted out, must of the major rot is outside and some inside, the A frame is solid, and a lot of the pieces that are really bad are easy to fabricate so I'm just gonna fabricate them myself, Inspired by the 15 window monster bus I'm gonna go with the "Corey Hamburg" special and build the floor and bed out of plywood, cab floor will be molded out of the skin of jetta a hood that's been kicking around for a few months.
I"m not aiming for the stars with this build, everything's gonna be low to below low budget, I've already gotten an assortment of second hand parts, at below cost and a bunch of hand me downs, enough to lower it and do brakes all around.
Build starts tomorrow

Damn that thing's gonna make the trail bash panel look showroom fresh. Looks like the east coast is getting a good zombie fleet these days. It's fun to see the rolling dead!

GA, just make sure you're not behind it when Manny drives it on the Belt. You don't want to get hit with pieces as they hit the ground and fall off.
Hey Manny.. A&T is still in business. Tony still sends work to them.
