just a update im waiting on some decent weather still. seems to be t hot during the day and rains in the evening.

[daniel_cogar]

Yeah its not to bad during the day it's the random thunder storms lol.. the primer was fine but for paint I need it to be about 60 with as less humidity as possable ....

So jealous! What are you doing about the humidity, its gotta be as bad there as it is here...or do you think it will be fine?

[daniel_cogar]

sprayed the sealer today. waiting for a nice day to spray the paint ....im off work sat, sun, and Monday, so most likely sun or Monday.

[daniel_cogar]

wow good stuff man, been a minute since I checked this thread, but what type of sealer and primer are you using for all that?

the primer surfacer, sealer is made by rustoleum. we stock it at work so I went that way

Well it does certainly look fine. I'm just a cargo junkie lol. I would have kept it clean to have more space to mount larger items that won't fit under it But hey it's your money/time/effort so do it your way was just curious. Very cool build either way

Any reason in particular other than styling for the spoiler thing??? i have no idea what you made the trunk lid out of but i think i'd leave that spoiler off and have that deck to mount/carry more stuff. Maybe put a spare tire there or something

it used to have a roll/ light bar in the back but then I decided to go another route and make a Fiberglass cover and it looked to plain so I added 2 inches to my Subaru rs wing and fiber glassed it on there I defiantly like the look of it, kinda like the ram 1500's it ads to the body figure also. I t lifts up so you can store many things in the back under it , along with the fuel cell. eventually it will have linear accuators that raise it up and hold it down.

Spoiler makes a good tie down point for tonneau top cargo...
