The driver's side. That's my '56 PGSG bus in the garage.

The inside of the box is finished. It is hinged in the middle to allow access to the battery. I added a recessed lifting handle.

Here's the Notek light I built mounted on the front fender. I added these headlight grilles for now. I may have to buy some better looking headlight lenses (or make some blackouts).

The first run of the Trug. My face is covered in grease from a hard day's work, and I still have a winshield to install, but I just couldn't wait to go on a little drive with my son!

Truly exceptional. The details on the bed are awesome. It almost makes me want to run out and by a bug to turn into a trug. Very Happy

I had a windshield custom cut for the Trug today and I installed it tonight. I took it for a spin just to try it out - but I ran into an issue (of course) and was broken down on the side of the road. Likely the fuel pump - but I'll figure that out tomorrow.

Here are a few pics before I left:
