    Any updates on the Holmes body? Really interested in making something similar, But I don't have the ability to make that 3" radius in material that thick, you must have some serious equipment at your shop.
     
  2. Working on the stainless flooring at the rear of the bed. Here is where it is so far.

    That's looking great. How are you attaching the sides to the front and rear. Bolts, plug welds. Thanks for the update pic.
     
  4. The whole thing bolts together. Working on the stainless.

    Very good job !
     
  6. Wow!

    That looks like it is coming out great! :)
     
  7. I finished up the stainless pieces at the rear of the bed. Now I can mount the bed to the chassis. Then finish making the cross sills to support the wood flooring.

    Would this happen to be a completed project yet, thinking seriously of building one myself for a 56 M350
