Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread

[hgs_notes]

Got a couple hours in the garage this afternoon. I cleaned up the welds on the door a bit more, found a couple more pinholes to put a spot of weld on and called it good enough. Then pulled out a fender to use for the driver side. One dent that had the metal stretched pretty good got hammered out. It was popping in and out though so I heated it up with the propane torch and quick cooled it with a wet rag. Hammered a bit more and torched it again and it cured the oil canning. Then I spent some time looking it over for rust holes and other damage. Then I spotted some holes drilled in the wheel arch, probably for some kind of flare, so welded those up.


The emblem holes were for a 68 chevy and wouldn't work for the K5 emblems, so I welded those up too.


It was a pretty clean fender and should look good once its stripped of paint and smoothed out with some filler and primer.


Hoping to get primer on both the door and fender tomorrow, but I don't know if I'll get the fender stripped in time. Just have to see how it goes. Because I still have to cut off the cup and weld in the plate for the bumper mod.
