Re: Project Family Hauler
Third door has a big dent and it twisted the door structure.
http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psad98e456.jpg So I decided to remove the skin to untwist the door. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps71294b70.jpg It decided to remove my skin too. Automotive karma? http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps377916c1.jpg After some hammering I got it to look better. Still need to shrink a couple spots that oil can. But may save the door. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps23a6f942.jpg |
Re: Project Family Hauler
Need to show us how to shrink the metal when ya can. I've used shrinkers and stretchers before but by hand?

Re: Project Family Hauler
Getting the hinges mounted into the suburban. Doing a lot of measuring to make them the same as the other side. And since that was a few years ago I need to remember what I did. I feel this setup is stronger than aftermarket suicide hinges. It is connected at the bottom hinge, in the middle at floor height and at the top by the window. Then I brace it with 2x2 tubing up to the roof.

Re: Project Family Hauler
Made some more progress today. Got the 3rd door swinging suicide.
http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psut5katdw.jpg http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...pshiwtti8e.jpg http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psrf5pv5ne.jpg This is the inner door bracing from the ford door. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psicexfdg0.jpg This is where the hinge box intersects with the floor. I cut it so it could be welded on 3 sides for strength. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psupnpjpnc.jpg Here is the lower hinge welded to the edge of the floor. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psven1p2yp.jpg The hinges look funny but they are straight. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psiu0i5l4h.jpg |
Re: Project Family Hauler
Looks good. Glad she is swinging right now.

Re: Project Family Hauler
Great work! Rust repair sure is a bad one to get through. I always have to push myself to keep at it or it could just get sat off to the side. :lol: Your suicide door turned out awesome!

Re: Project Family Hauler
Sorry my ADD is acting up. Needed to work on my other truck. Gas gauge quit working and the replacement part wasn't the same so I decided to change the fuel tank. But the old filler was in the bed wood so I had to change that. Then I needed to figure out where to fill it without ruining the paint. Here are some pics.
This is the old bed. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psc1526d14.jpg Lots of bolts. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psut75gjhf.jpg http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psu9nfmtnd.jpg Filler behind the left taillight. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...pstvqtkj8u.jpg http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psqzdxzl0i.jpg http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psotrr4lqb.jpg The new wood is Padouk. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psxjwo4xsc.jpg http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psu9azokne.jpg http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psgzk3asgc.jpg http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...pszmjodoe2.jpg This is the Boyd Welding tank. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psxdoz4wjo.jpg http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...pshderdo2y.jpg Relocated fuel pump to front of tank. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...pstopnls9b.jpg This connects the filler in the stake pocket to the tank. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psiomobidt.jpg Final coat of varnish goes on the wood tomorrow. Next weekend I will reassemble everything then I can get back to the suburban. |

Re: Project Family Hauler
I have been working on it slowly. Mostly rust repair to the passenger side. I also found out why the back door didn't fit right. The body bushing just in front of the rear tire was missing, causing the body to sag 3/4". Because of all my rust it really twisted the body.
Here is where I left off. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psbvy8klar.jpg With the body mount corrected the doors open and close better. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psvvboezjy.jpg http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...pshbf50fh6.jpg The floor is done behind the B pillar. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psrcrhfswu.jpg I tack welded the front floor patch. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps72y5kdr4.jpg http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psyfjh7r4j.jpg Then I ground down all the welds and painted the bare metal. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps3drapkbl.jpg http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...pstafzrufg.jpg http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psujfsn6rr.jpg I rebuilt the bottom of the B pillar and removed the suburban part of the rocker panel. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...pseqi1yqex.jpg Then I grafted it onto the truck rocker panel. http://i763.photobucket.com/albums/x...psidwpnngc.jpg Next I will finish the bottom of the B pillar and be playing with the rocker panels. Also need to make the back door latch. |
