M1009 Work in Progress.

[bbbang]

I have been doing a bunch of work on the redo of one of my M1009's and thought some of the folks on the boards might enjoy the pictures. I just put in insulation and carpet, a Chevy console, and then put in the stereo head unit and the two front speakers. I have made side panels and top rail covers (undrilled) out of steel treadplate. I am also working on a roll cage, but hate to grind and sand when it is hot. Also have four leather bucket seats to go into the Blazer, with custom mounting brackets. I also have a black cloth top in the box but haven't opened it yet. Chris

Be sure to show us how the four bucket seats look. I am thinking about it, I have 07 cloth mustang seats in it now. I have been wondering how much room there would be inbetween the rear buckets. Maybe enough room for the gunner to stand and look out my future devilman96 style hatch.

Looks good so far, keep it up.

M1009 Work in Progress

I am still working on my M1009 slowly but surely. I have added a cloth top, mounted my antenna, added GPS and a rear view camera. I also am putting in a led interior light system (green lights of course). I have finished redoing the 3/4 ton rear ends front and back to like new. I have my new tires and wheels and am getting ready to put the lift kit and rear ends on for the 33" tires. I have been putting off the grinding and sanding of the roll cage, but will get to that nasty job soon. Here are a few pictures. Chris

Did you make the speaker kick panels? I am looking at doing something like that out of fiberglass, never done it before looking for tips, ideas.

 

[blitzengine]

Great job! I like the grey interior, looks much better than the old burgundy interior. What do you have mounted on the dash? Is it the rear view camera or the GPS?

Cheers

where did you get that top!?

any more pics of her with the back cap off?

 

[paramilusmc]

Did you have to do any mods to put in the kicker speakers? Does it effect your air vents?
