Hi Chris

They did an awesome job and only took a couple of days work (with the right knowledge and tools). Ill post some photos of thier trayback zook conversion when i get a chance.

I'm not knocking anyone's work but i don't think the bracing needs to be quite so sturdy. One of the best things with a zook is the light weight, where possible it's best to keep this in mind when modding your car.

Sometimes strength is needed that adds weight but sometimes strength can be added without too much additional weight.

For instance you could use lighter gauge angle for the rear wall supports bearing in mind that you are going to add additional strength with the tin back wall.

PS don't forget to wack some silicone or similar between the barcing and the wall to stop the rattles. Perhaps even use panel glue to hold the wall to the braces and just weld the edges.

Looking good by the way. And can someone build a full bodied zook, just for something different

Working on it buddy

no offense taken
and gutless bite me

basically bro and i went with overkill as per usual but not real heavy despite the amount of bracing....
fairly thin box tube bud so shouldn't make to much difference to the rear bodywork that was there...and yes i have taken the tray into account

the panel work will be stitchwelded to the bracing so there shouldn't be too much of the rattles but will use silicone as well...

and cheers for the support but not my post guys

Have a look at lifting your fuel tank before you build your tray. Easy to do.

Mine was originally mounted through the floor (when full bodied). The bottom of the tank is now just above the bottom line of the chassis.
