Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
oh I'm looking, the guy hit a car in front of mine and totaled it, pushed it into mine and then hit every panel. then hit a car behind mine and broke the transaxle. It was at night no one heard it, he picked up hit peices and took off.
Dont mean to be off the subject Alan, so get back to work on those body panels! |

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Can't go wrong with either of those, but I would do the corvette blue with a white insert in the molding...

Round 2 with the bed. 198 brought the fleet to me today. Rust wise it's in great shape. Dent wise is another story. Here are some pics.
I hit the sides real quick with a long block with 80 to show the highs. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00503.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00504.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00505.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00506.jpg Put the floor braces in to support the bed while I work on it. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00500.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00501.jpg Got some rust to repair http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00471.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00472.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00474.jpg rear corner pulled away http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00473.jpg |

worm holes
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00480.jpg Nice straight tail gate http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00485.jpg One rust hole http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00487.jpg Can't figure out what these hole are for, I think it might be from a PO http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00486.jpg |
Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Alan, how are you going to fix the mild rust there? Just curious. Are you going to trim out the rust and patch in a new lip?
|
Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
I think the holes since right in the middle and there little, maybe license plate. dents dont look too bad. Nothing a little filler and hammers can fix!

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
I'm a scrounger if ya'll haven't realized that yet. I started off by trying to find some metal here in town, good luck. Then remembered there is Ingrams truck bodys here in town. They didn't have any metal light enough for me, but said I could dig threw the dumpster. So I went dumpster diving and brought this home.
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00508.jpg Worked on the LT bedside only, patching rust and pulling dents. I had a hard time getting the pull pins to stick. I was using an extension cord so I eliminated the cord and it worked better, but still had some trouble. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00509.jpg Didn't really want to go up this high, but the metal was pretty thin from corrosion. I felt better by eliminating it. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00513.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00515.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00517.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00520.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00521.jpg |

Straightened the upper rail http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00524.jpg Here's a little tip. If you mud up to a joint put some tape over the joint and right on the edge to keep it out of the crack. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00525.jpg Wiped the whole thing http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00527.jpg Sanded with air tools http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00529.jpg Then hand blocked with 80 http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00530.jpg Blocked with 180 tonight. |
Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
[QUOTE=Alan's Classic;3400348]150 is that for both sides? I'm sure it's just one. It sounds like a deal. Have you seen any of the guys work?
*Thats for one side, He's pretty good. I dont think he is your caliber. But i would feel okay with his work. * *Since the truck is at Dad's, he has a 40 year fab/welder coming over to look at it. They want to replace the entire cab floor. Alan what are your thoughts on that? |

Removed the wheel tubs. Does anyone know how good the repops are at fitting? I'm wondering if it would be more economical to get a new one. Once I removed the tubs and looked at the bottom of the flanges on the RT it was in worse shape than I had thought. If I do repair them does anyone know if there is a tool to make the square holes? This is the RT one in both pics http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00546.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00547.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00531.jpg Removed undercoating in both tubs. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00539.jpg 198 wanted to eliminate the chains. I split it in 4 places peeled the flange out and welded in a piece of flat metal to reform the flange then welded the big hole up. Both sides are done. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00542.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00545.jpg Working the inside of the LT bedside. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00543.jpg Spent more time in this area than I had planned it would take. The worm holes are from PO and the metal was stretch so the metal was tin canning. Got it stiffened back up. Then welded the holes shut. The lower corner was also pulled away from the bedside. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00548.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00551.jpg The right bedside is rougher thean the LT. Sanded almost all of the old primer off cause it had surface rust popping up all over. This is where it is at now. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00552.jpg |
