Kick Out Build

I just thought I would post up some of the pics of the Kick Out build. Here is the beautiful Kick Out's humble beginning, a donor pan from a previous buggy named the "Dirt Turd".

The floor pans were pretty thin and rusty and not shortened very well, so it was decided to replace them.

The fitting of the new floor pans.

The pans fitted into place.

Time to start painting. Rustoleum primer was used.

The underside with 1 1/4" side rails fit into the pan edges.

Everything was painted satin black with a roll-on bedliner used for the floor pans.

Final assembly of the pan getting ready for the body.

I know this is just the stuff that every one has seen before so I will work on getting Kick Out related parts of the build posted in the next few days. It just takes a little while to put everything together.

You seem to have a very organized process and have discovered what doesn?t work for your process.

Jon, As per usual you do exceptional work. For those who have done what you did know how much time goes into this type of project. I for one don't like all the cleaning and painting. Some day when I'm rich I'm going to build a buggy that just bolts together, but then they never do....... Bob

Jon, Thanks for all the new pictures. The wiring job is fantastic! When I hit the lotto I know who I'm going to hire to build my next buggy

The build is very impressive, a great job! What kind of steering column are you using?

[QUOTE="lsjimbo;13647"]What kind of steering column are you using?[/QUOTE] The steering column is just a stock 69 bug column with the mounting that comes with the Kick Out kit.
