    F500 ramp truck updates

    You might have seen it in the gasser mag. Well I've started build the bed. Phase one is done all cut and ready to stick together. Name:  20240318_135830.jpeg

    Nice one, thats a whole heap of welding there!
    Thanks for showing us what you're doing.
    I may live in East London, I may have a number plate that reads "Chopt",
    but I do NOT use 6" wheel spacers!
