The birth of a new Sportsmobile

Great rig, thanks for sharing in detail and for the dismantled views of a 2009 dash

Nice to see other materials in use...

KC,

Having seen your SMB before completion, I must say it cleans up very nicely. Nice work, great rig.

We hid our airhorns behind the aluminess front bumper.

...and I saw McBeast smiling, knowing he has a cousin just up the road...

See you down the road.

Congratulations on the Awesome rig. I like your window set up and the custom interior. Get ready for the fun!!!

That thing is a beauty... makes me miss ours. The ones just really look so good with the new grill.. and i love that dash! Nice change of pace. Congrats on a sweet rig.

Thanks for all the comments. 14 days and 2000 miles later, still enjoying it. Made lots of mods as well. Will post them later. It's kind of like a Harley, you can't ever stop tinkering....

[Greg In Austin]

I still can't wait to see it finished and in person....

Does the 3rd captain's seat swivel to face forward?

[kcrain]

Yes indeed. There is a fourth seat as well, the mount for which is under the small carpet square shown in the pictures. I pull it unless I have 4 passengers (or 2-kids) along for the ride.

I may be in Big D for a few hours this weekend..... I have a pickup at B&S.... I will drop you a note if I am heading that way...

Aloha K Crain,
How does the Aluminess rack feel up there. We are looking at the same thing for ours but I'm wondering about the weight with the diamond plated flooring.
Is the weight of the whole rack 150lbs or is that just the floor weight as an addition to the rack?
Does it support your weight if you go up there?
Your rig is really nice and it has the look we're trying for too. Our 09 is just starting now.
Thanks,
Harry
