Re: Cuttin' a Turret Top
Mr. Potato Head: How did I get stuck with you as a moving buddy?
Rex: Everyone else was picked. - Toy Story 1995 It probably doesn't look too different from a lot of the previous posts other than paint on the front end, but there's a lot of things getting done that nobody will ever notice. For instance, if you look at the front of the truck in the previous posts, you'll notice an ugly cut-out on each side of the radiator. Evidently one of the previous owners were unable to get to the top of the front body mounting bolts and had a torch that was a little too handy. With the grill in place, these holes were mostly hidden from plain view, but the cuts went through the front sheet metal <em>and</em> the radiator support. Now's the time to fix it: This pic is as I started to fix it and the next one one shows the completed patches. Each front fender also had a good size hole rotted out in the rear from the drain holes being plugged for too many years. No big deal, I know. But progress isn't slowing. It's just somewhat more detailed. FWIW, as you look at the pics, know that the pieces are fully attached. No more mock-up with a bolt here and there. Progress continues.
