No, due too some poor decisions on my part I haven't been able to work on it. I could of had the bed almost done by now if it wasn't for other things that need to be done. Maybe the misery will end soon. Thanks for asking!!

I don't have a clue when it will be on the road or even running. I should be able to spend a little time on it here and there. I've been helping Shannon get his metal work going and Ronnie is planning on bringing his cab to me pretty soon. He's basically waiting on me.

It's nice to see something getting done. I might start working on the hood and get it done so I can have somemore floor space.

HAHA

I got bored at work and the only thing I had there to work on in my spare time was the 4Runner. I decided to do a step by step on how to make a patch panel with only a few hand tools and a welder. It might help someone out.

First step find what you want to cut out.



And mark what you want to cut out.





I used an old tailgate for some scrap metal and laid it out. I over sized the pattern for trimming.



First set of bends was made with a vise and body hammer as well as the rest of the bends.



I made some relief cuts to make the compound curve. The original piece is behind it. I clamped it in place a little at a time to form the curves. Don't distort the original panel. You will end up with a bad patch.



I tacked the cuts to hold it's shape then removed the rusty piece and finished welding.



Ground the welds down and here is the patch.



Trimmed to fit and tacked in place. I did clean up the inner structure on the truck prior to install





2 more pics coming..........

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

Ground the welds



Wiped with filler



The inside of the 1/4 was cleaned, seam sealed and undercoated.



Primed



It took me about 5.5 hours to do all of this. I rushed it just to see how fast I could do it. I got lucky a couple times, but it turned out pretty good for a rush.
