Looking nice, Pinepig :thumbsup:
Here are some pics of the truck bed/boxes under construction. The assembly is being made with very few fasteners, using glue and clamps. After the wood was done I glassed inside with 3.7 oz./yard tooling fabric and Resin Research 2000 epoxy resin.
I Installed the backs and glassed them on inside, and now I'm finishing glassing on the back and bottom outside.
All the visible surfaces will get resin only, topped with Linear Polyurethane for UV resistance.
The bare bones. The box outsides are clamped to each other to keep things straight.
Gluing on the top edge. Insides are glassed at this point.
It was a clamp intensive operation
Hatch or lid in early stages. Note the use of plywood on edge as a straightener.
The 3/8" plywood is not stable and was only straight in the stack at the lumber yard.
Note the corner detail; there is a 3/4" square void in the design, to be filled with a darker hardwood trim piece.
Same part with the end and some frame sections going in. Later these were cut down after the wood had stabilized a bit.
The foundation the boxes are bolted to.
More pics to follow.
