| Very nice and creative job on this build. Are all the trims BMF or is it a mix of P/E and/or Alclad finish? |

All BMF. Chrome for the majority and matt aluminium for the ribbed panel on the rear quarter panel. Cheers, Chris |

| Sweet looking build, I bet that gave you some real challenges doing that conversion, great job on the BMF work too! _________________ My friends call me Curt.

| The 'interface' between the bed & cabin was the PITA part of the build. The rest was fairly easy, the roof cut suprisingly so. With hindsight, I should have chopped the roof to get a stock window opening.
Thanks for the BMF compliment too!
Cheers,
Chris |
