Smyth Jetta Ute: framing the bed

This is hanging the inner bed and floor. This step you pretty much put all the aluminum together then take it apart, then put it back together. It is time consuming but critical to get everything straight, true and square. All the body panels hang on this so it has to be positioned correctly for the body lines and seams to be perfect. Still fun! I spent about 20 hours on this stage but that included doing a bunch of wiring, some fiberglass fitting, sealing every seam and taking my time to get it just right.

Enjoy watching your video. I have been thinking to convert Benz w123 300D to pickup too. It requires skills, time and idea. Nice one.

Nice job Andy! Great video and great progress on your Jetta. John

Queda espectacular, lo único que no me gusta es que esté sujeto con tirafondos y remaches, el terminado buenísimo 👍

Great Job on these Videos, I also saw your build thread as well. I am working on my build as we speak and these videos are extremely helpful! One question I have is at

[@michaelcichonsky8714]

What kind of rivet gun are you using? Not sure if the one I have will work with the rivets the kit requires. Picking up a donor car soon and hoping to start the build myself.

nice job brother, but which mm of the sheet flow where you using

[@johnlamb7440]

I'm curious if you have had problems with water entering the cab through the bed.

[@carlosmartoral6268]

As far as the title and registration , would this be still considered a vw beetle or a vw pickup truck?

[@colinbutler471]

How did you get the rivets in the top of the inner fenders theres not alot of space there

[@user-ho3ff9rt8j]
