I have latches just no inside door handles, door skin's, or linkage. Door skin was 1/8" hard plastic, you could use 1/8" ply but put a good sealer on it. Cover with 1/2" foam & vinyl. Coat hanger ( not the plastic ones ) would make a good rod.

This was going to be a light weight engraver, but with these rails could put a Small Router on it. Today was screwy day. Got the "X", "Y" & "Z" leadscrews mount & alined. The "Z" rail was an air cly which I mod to fit a screw. Had to machine a 2" disc to replace the washer ( bottom corner ) to mount the screw nut to it. Will mount stepper as shown in the AM & start the wiring so it can be tested. So far, had to get some screws, so out of pocket about $35.00, plus got to clean up a little around here. Won't be doing to much on this as there have been no comment & only one "like". Maybe a video when moving. Update, Wed 9/3/14 The "Z" is finished & mount to the "Y". More drilling & tapping holes in the Alum & have the chain belt mounted for the wiring. Mount the speed controller for the cutting motor. Started to run the wires for the stepper motors.

I assume you have a Bradley GT II The door latches are from a VW rabbit. VW PN 331 827 505 Latch VW PN 331 827 511A Striker Skip20 may have some for sale. If not, he has installed them and may have some tips on that. That's what I was thinking!

A CNC Machine moves in 3 axles "X,Y & Z" with some kind of cutter or Plasma cutter. It's controlled with a computer. This is about the 8th one I've build, so not new to me. So far everything I've needed has been laying around here, but now I need to go get a few nuts & bolts the right size. The "X" & "Y" Axel are mounted to frame. Twin "X" steppers mounted. Controller & P/S will be mounted in the back were there will be dead space from the cutter. Next to mount the "X" stepper & lead screw. Update Tuesday 4:30 - 6:30 AM; trimmed the front "X" brackets for easier mount of table top. Mounted "X" leadscrew & bearing. Next to mount the "Y" stepper & lead screw. 2:45PM Both "Y" leadscrews are machined & mounted, still need to mound the rear bearing. "X" & "Y" will move with cordless drill. Now to fight the "Z" screw & stepper motor. Back to work on the Bradley next week sometime. Shifter is being a pain in the ass due to mods done on Dash.

After 2 1/2 weeks I'm finally happy with the way the dash came out. Had to trim the body up to the 1/2" bolts holding the roof down, but now it fits door to door Also cut out the old dash up to to the windshield frame & the body sits on the dash to seal it. But the shifter is about 1/2" to high for the cover, so back to some more cutting & welding the tunnel.

WOW, what a day, welding the tunnel got finished, installed the wiring harness up front, then the cross support bar & laid the whole dash on this time without trimming it, trimmed the body instead.

It's been Long & Hard, but the tunnel is getting close to being welded back in with a 2.5" drop. Just a little more filling on the front trans hump. Will prime the weld then add the body sealer.

No violin! Been welding to tunnel back in. And now that I have an idea as to what I'm doing, drove out 50 miles to a Used Subaru Dealer with a Subaru junk yard in the back & pulled out another dash & wiring harness to play with.

OK, here he is, the crazy Hauole Boy with his BradSubby SK for those that have never seen a picture of me ( don't show the FBI ). horen2tas Senior Member, has been by to see me on one of his trip way down south, so he doesn't count. This has the Subaru 3.0 6cly/auto & Toyota front & rear for the frame Subby Outback for the floor. The tunnel has been dropped & ticked in place. The dash now fits under the body & will stay with the frame when done a driving frame. Pictures will show the amount of room inside with the seat & the 2" addition head room. Me all hot & sweaty. My wife wanted to drive it out of the garage already. Note the arms for driving comfort. Hard time keeping her in the garage.

A little trimming, banging & a few cuts on me, it looks like it just may work. Now more welding. Guess I have to take all the work out again to mount the wiring harness, A/C & heater that goes behind the cross bar!

What I am looking for is the spline that the wiper blade attached to. It has set screws to attach to the shaft and the wiper blade fits over it. That has the arm to the motor on it, need to replace the whole assy. Not as in the picture, but as in the picture for a VW Bug.

Guess what! You will still need to remove to unit to change the part! And you should go ahead & change both of them.

I just love making more work for me. With the rocker panel in & the Steering column set, I went & cut the tunnel off the floor just so I can drop it 3-4" so the dash would fit right. You will see that the seat mounts were cut off the floors also. OK, back to sweating to the oldie!

Got the steering column mounted & welded in. Adjusted the wheel & welded the 2 shaft parts together.

Today it's get the steering setup day. Drill new hole to drop the Subaru column down 3" to help aline it with the Toyota R&P. Shorted both connecting U-joints To fir & will weld later. This has been a ongoing work for 2-3 days to figure all of it out right. Next to setup the column inside & weld it in. The A/C & heater boxes need to be in.

News Flash. Left front shock is mounted & hold the car up with about 1" rack to the front. Using coil over shock kit w/200 lb spring. Lower shock mount need a larger the then 1/2" hole it had, so made a new tube with 9/16" ( same as MM ) to use the Toyota bolt. Also had to drill the lower mounting spring bracket to the 9/16" Use 2"x3" tubing welded to the front end frame then welded the upper mount to it. Will show pictures when the body goes back up to do the right side.

Screwed up on the left side frame brace, no room got the wheel to bounce! So I lower the hoist down to riding height & worked on the right side to see what I would have to do on the left. Got it right so back to the left side, cut it off & made the mods so the wheel will bounce. Added the Subaru Body to frame braces. OK, guess now I will have to do the shock mount!

Primed the new rocker panels & rear of floor. Added extinction to the front frame rails with cross braces. You may all so notice, had to massage the front corner of the gas tank to clear the H/L flipper upper. The tubing brace is shown, will go from the upright on door area to the front of the frame by gas tank. Shock towers & mounting the shocks next.

Had to go downtown to get some more tubing. Finished the other side, primed it & added the body seal. Also went ahead & sealed the floor where the Subby Outbach was joined to the Toyota.

Finished all the welding for the new stronger rocker panel & upright support. Primed all welds & metal & applied body sealer to all welded areas. Now I have to do the same on the other side, then move to the front framing & shocks.

Believe it or not, I'm working on the White Bradley GTII again. Cut the 2"x4"x1/4" tubing to fit in the rocker area & upright. This will help to tie the two frame together. Will finish the welding on this side then work on the other. Rise the car up & weld the bottom into it.
