Re: Raty 69
G'day all, just thought I'd update some progress on my rig. Spoke to an engineer about bagging the truck, going to c notch the rear and cup the LCA's. Might body drop it later. Can't z notch it because will cost to much coin still pumped as to start it though! so im just finishing off the cab repairs so I can get to work on the chassis and start notching and what not. Here's a few pics of the rust repair progress. Trying to go for the rat rod style of body repairs haha no filler for me!, haha do have more pics but I'll have to find the camera first :P cheers all.

Re: Raty 69
looks good so far. You will like the new lower stance with the C notch.

Re: Raty 69
Gday all. Just an Update is all. Got the bottom of the cab seam sealed and Paint it up. Cocked up the bottom when i primed it. Didnt prep it right so the primer was just flaking off when i was seam sealing, so i had to fix that Moved it out of the shed to the carport. Good to see it not on its back like a $2 hooker haha. Going though some discussion with the landlord (Mum :P) to get my shed concreted so after that ill move the chassis in and start work on that, crossmembers, 4 link and notch etc. Cant bloody wait. Heres some pics.

Re: Raty 69
Hi mate,

Re: Raty 69
G'day mate. Nice looking rig! Umm not really sure just a matter of getting repair sections and welding them in. I'll pm you my number. You can give us a call to discuss. Maybe even meet up and I'll take a look. Cheers

Re: Raty 69
Cheers dude, yeah I haven't looked into patch panels to much, are they pretty accurate or require tweaking?
