**88JRFAN** · 04-26-2009, 11:36 PM

Yeah i know, but hey can't always remember the camera. Sounds like your getting yours in shape. Don't it suck when they don't fit back together right.

tim21391 · 04-27-2009, 04:09 PM

haha ya i hear ya.. mom came out and was like i thought u just replaced them calm down.. im like ya but it has to be beat back haha.. i had to fit it 7 or so times.. but yea i had her out for a drive the other day

**88JRFAN** · 04-27-2009, 04:28 PM

Somebody always has to put in their .02 sense. Tell her you had to massage it, they work better that way. Good thing for a bfh, they fix anything.

tim21391 · 04-29-2009, 10:55 AM

haha ya thats the truth for sure.. im at a stand still til i get the welder back

tim21391 · 04-29-2009, 10:51 PM

hey i ended up working on my rockers today welded up underside.. so sry i didnt make it over

**88JRFAN** · 04-30-2009, 08:46 PM

Not a problem, i will be there tomorrow.

**88JRFAN** · 05-01-2009, 11:53 PM

Some recent pics. Need to massage the rear corner of the rocker so it will match the cab corner. Rocker is ready to weld in."

Some new updates. Got all the rust repair done, at least that i have found. Got the rocker and cab corner fitted and matched up to my liking. Filled up some unneeded holes and flattened and welded up the gas tank mounting holes. Also welded up most of the seam on the top/back of the cab. Thought it would look cleaner and another place water can't get in. Took out the glass, most of the metal is good, the usual couple rust spots. I'm working on trying to blast it myself, just need to find a location for doing. Here are some pics of it. Will get some more this next week. "

Looking really good! Want to come do mine?

**88JRFAN** · 05-24-2009, 11:31 PM

Thanks Robert. I think i will have to pass. One of these is enough for me. I now know why Kevin and the other body guys get paid good for this stuff. Not to hard, but it's not the easiest metal i've done. I would rather rebuild a dirt car frame, not so intricate. But i will give you any help ya need. If we lived closer together, i would come help ya though. Next time i'm down that way, i can give ya some pointers.

**88JRFAN** · 08-18-2009, 09:53 PM

Finally made some progress on the cab. I got it blasted by a place in wichita. Did a very good job, was some spots he missed but very minimal. I will definitely use them again. And then got some epoxy primer shot on it to protect it till i can finish fixing a few small rust spots that appeared after blasting. Then it is on to paint. Here are some pics after it was blasted.

" Here is how it looks after primer. "
