It's called golf because all the other four letter words were taken.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

replaced both rocker boxes and end caps, both front cab supports, both front lower door pillars, drivers lower rear door pillar, numerous sections of the bed floor, wheel tub flanges were shot and the bed floor under them, top corner windshield frame around where the visor goes, capped of the top corners of the windshield frame where the seal goes, both front floor pans, both lower kick panels, both inner rocker panels, outer rocker panels (to be completed when body in on the frame), both rear quater panels (one done, one waiting to be done).

It's not perfect nor show quality work, but it will be straight and solid when done.

No where near the work Gee Emm has done

Got any of the bad specialy the floor that is before you fixed it . I just got off the horn with my shipper my new 72 blazer beater will be home around 800 am . I think i am looking at a total rebuild is everything still available for these floors . what about the floor support that runs longways on the floor this is the one the cab supports connect to .Hom much of the floor sheetmetal is available .
