Re: Another one leaves the shop
Nice truck and work, but can't believe you can complain about more work (money) in this slow economy.

Re: Another one leaves the shop
Out comes the 383 in goes the 396, Then started test fitting the replacement parts.. Oopss.. the NOS drivers door was horrible.. Had to cut off the window frame and take one off of another door. So much for OEM parts fitting.. LOL...

Re: Another one leaves the shop
Next went junkyard hopping to find some gas doors.. found a pair off of a Diesel F%&d.. yup.. they were the closest to flat I could find and still had to spend many hours recontouring, shrinking and stretching to get them to fit and achieve the desired shape..
Next I took a look inside the factory Aux fuel tank. YUK!!.. decided to have it cloned out of aluminum.. ahh much better! Then focused my attention to the tail light area of the tool box bed side, it had been damaged a bit.. boy that was a challenge to get straight! Then sent all the sheet metal off to get media blasted and power coated with "dry epoxy primer" |
