M416 Project   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3578 of 6572 |

I have detailed my M416 project here:
http://vegasauto.net/m416.html

I am mostly done. By mostly, I mean the entire chassis,
lights, etc all work and I have it registered. The main
portion left for me to complete is the bed which needs
a lot of work. I plan on taking it camping, as-is, during
the Thanksgiving weekend and then I'll tackle the bed.

Any thoughts and comments on either the web page
or how I can fix the bed are greatly appreciated.

Pete

Great, I am glad it worked as well for you as it did for me. It sounds like you have it just about done. Did you bend the square tube at all? I forgot to...

The pounding under stress worked great. We did manage to slightly bend the square tube. We had it under quite a bit of pressure. It's got just a slight...
