Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
A productive 4th for me...
Got the Oil changed in my wife's DD and my Daughter's car... Installed a '95 Chrome Grille in my '90 Silverado DD, the grille was a straight across trade with a friend who had it on his '91. He wanted a period correct grille he could paint and add billet inserts, so it worked out for us both Replaced the broken drive belt on the riding lawn mower... After all that, it was on to the Grind, Weld, Grind...Repeat process Here are a few progress pics... Some welds after the initial grind session, Me in action with the new Toy, er... Tool! And after the last grind session today... Going to do repeat of today this weekend, hopefully for the last time, then onto other areas that need attention... Just a small bit of progress, but progress nonetheless!!!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
how does your compressor hold up to the angle grinder? I like the idea of the small grinding discs. I usually use a flap disc on a electric grinder

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Not much accomplished on the stepper this weekend, did do some final welding on the fender patch, still got to do the grinding thing one more time, then it's on to primer...
The Grandson turned 5 Sunday, so it was party central at the house this weekend, got to live up to my Grandpa Mantra, Sugar em' up, send em' home!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Thanks Guys
Watching other builds and thanks to the encouraging words i finally dove off the deep end and attempted this type of repair... Honestly had to question my sanity after a couple of moments, and a few instances of ... Now to find the time amongst everyday life to get this Fender in Primer, another first, especially since I've never attempted body work... Thank the Good Lord for Good Friends (with experience) and this board with it's wealth of info!!!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Just ran through this thread, nice work so far. I also happened to notice a couple Missouri trucks you saw at the Power Tour. That blue stepside belongs to the brother of a friend of my dad's.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Yeah the blue stepside has an LS1, and the guy who owns it, his brother should have been there with his old Nova, same color blue. Has an LS1 and 6-Speed.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
I remember a bunch of old Novas, and a handful of Blue ones... The only pic I have of one with an LS1 is a Station Wagon with an Alabama front plate. Very Clean...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
If I had the gas money and something imo worth taking, I would have gone to the Power Tour.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Looks like a nice build, I'll sign on for the ride! The Boy and I are doing a 355 / NV3500 swap into his S10 next week (3.42) so I'll have a little feedback on that for ya. Really like the artwork you do too.
