I started to do some sheet metal work
First I made the front lower body parts and then the tipper body.
After several attempts I got something done, after trying aluminium I eventually made them from steel.

Ari this build has presented quite a few challenges but you have come up with a lot of answers to fix them. Great work. Ed

Little progress
There's surprisingly many parts on the tipper body, and what you see in the pictures are not even all of them

I got the tailgate mounted to the body. It's still missing the cable and few other parts that connect it to the frame.

Looks like everything came together for a nice fit.

Have you been practicing your tig welding much lately? Looks like you have a lot to do on this dump body.

Thanks Joe.

I've been practicing tig welding, but obviously not enough, so I have ruin many perfectly good parts by welding
