Well finally got some time to work on my uds today and made pretty good progress. I strayed away from the KISS method pretty far on my build but im only $150 bucks in on it so far and a lotta time but its been fun and its built the way i want it.. I will post more pics as i complete the build

I can't take any credit for the hinge design i got the idea and design from a fellow brethren by the name of razrbackcrzy who was very helpful in sharing his design with me... All i have left to do now is finish the lid latch and sandblast and paint once time permits. It has been a fun build but im ready to have it done and cooking

Damn what a hinge. I love overbuilt stuff, makes it look bad to the bone and shows off your awesome fab skills. Great looking UDS, I need to build one some day and maybe make it that nice if I learn to weld! :-o
 
If you take care of that, it should last a very long time. Great job!
 
Thanks everyone... el ropo i see no reason why this thing wont last a lifetime if kept out the weather
 
I love the hinge. Is there a tab on the drum that the handle in the small bung latches onto?

Yes the liner will be removed wouldnt have it any other way. I have a few more things to do and than ill be soda blasting inside and out and painting
 
Managed to finish up the lid latch on my lunch break today. Very happy with the way the latch turned out lid seals up nice and tight.
