Well it took in time around 2 years but this was stretched out over 4-5 years as I also restored a 1965 safari valiant for my son..

Beautiful job. Congratulations on finishing it! I know it will get a lot of attention on the road.

[dontknowitall]

instead of having to lift the seat i made compartments under the seat..

 

 

not finished so it looks a bit ruff..

That lockable storage door is a GREAT IDEA !! Hope you don't mind if I borrow/copy/replicate that special panel ?

[Jerry Roberts]

When I was a kid many years ago , I read an article in Popular Mechanics on building a rolling drawer that could be pulled out from the side of under the  seat . Open the cab door and then pull out the drawer .

yes that is what I will use too, at the moment I needed some locked storage so this worked great

you go for it.. Make a template and trace that on the steel part.

Now I wish I had two extra glove box doors. Great idea.

Great color combo, love it! Looks very clean.

 

That under-seat compartment would be great for storing a side arm.

Unless you've got that compartment boxed off to minimize content travel, whatever you put in there will always end up at the far end, out of reach  I think that's one of Murphy's laws.

What a beauty! Just got to love the way those UTE's look.

 

Have fun with it.

That's exactly were it is for, when I go to the range while transporting I have to have it secured by law.

U can use it two way..either a long- arm over the whole length, it will fit it..or box it of on one side for sidearm or money and the other side for longer items.

My 57 in the Spring of 2015.   I'm currently working the flatty out and a 383/TF in.

Believe I saw it parked in the main street of Berry the Friday before last. I was travelling through and couldn't stop, but caught my eye from a distance! Very nice.  Martyn
