Shamat's build Inc custom tray
Posted: Tue, 01 Dec 2015 10:07 +0000
I've started working on a custom tray and draw system that uses the styleside tub. When done it should provide a flat tray top and deep drawer underneath. I'm also including hinged panels for easy access to the fridge and space around the wheel arches. Will be topped with rubber matting and a canvas canopy on top.
Started by welding up the basic frame.
Found the tray was not square and the floor ran at some funky angles, so needed to cut and lengthen in places.
was a pain in the A$$ trying to use a stick welder so managed to convince the missus to buy me a MIG.
Added some sheet metal to the top.
Hinged the side and rear panels. There is a small lip that runs all around where a rubber strip will be used to seal them when closed.
All the top panels on and the side panels ready for the rollers for the drawer.
Welded some pipe in each corner as a recess for the 2" bars for the canopy to sit in. Just tacked in at this stage.
Will be sealing it all up with silicone and rubber strips etc.
There is still quite a bit to go, but it's started
