Truck in the Garage is my roommate's '68 SWB - we are currently in a race to see who's driving daily first. He's currently battling a rusty interior roof panel and needs someone to weld in a replacement panel.... Suggestions?

Spent the day farting around on the Smurf. Located some parts laying around, Pressure washed the engine bay and underneath, wet sanded some of the oxidation off, swapped to some less crappy wheels, changed the oil.

Anyone near Austin have a gently used front bumper and driver's eyebrow for a GMC?

Lookin' better!

Picked up some parts from a "cut to bits mid 70's 2x4 blazer" this week - Today I dropped the rear with a 2" shackle, re-welded some exhaust parts, scrapped the front suspension and replaced it with my new parts - disc brakes, stainless lines, new shocks, 2" drop shackles, (i cut the springs one coil also) and a few other odds and ends. It was along day. Things are looking a little more hotrod. This week I'll have some rotors drilled 6 lug to get back to my turbines.

Next up, sway bar, steering stabilizer, remove leafs to match front and then get some rust repair panels patched in.
