This is a picture of it before I started working on it.

Your kidding right Dennis....
You need to hire some help...Congrats on the work.it could be worst and have no work.

Strodder · 09-04-2009, 11:20 PM

Dave don't get me wrong. I'm very happy to have all this work. I feel really lucky in this economy. It's not affecting me like other repair and body shops. I've talked to other guys that do what I do, and they are busier than ever too. I have to charge more per hour for working this hard. As far as hiring some help, it's not going to happen. I did that at my other shop, and he cost me money, and slowed me down. So I fired him. Especially since he didn't install a air bag correctly, and the truck was towed back the next day with a blown air bag. And this was after I asked him to check the bag clearance when the truck was aired out.

If I could I would. At least I won't have to keep an eye on you to make sure it's done right. Besides the commute for you would be a *****.

that looks pretty good. Mine is just going to be under the bed

1964C10 · 09-06-2009, 12:59 AM

That has a great look to it! Nice work

protrash64 · 09-06-2009, 01:03 AM

I like all the tools lying there!!

Feel like I just finished....seriously, cool idea Dennis.

Strodder · 09-06-2009, 02:52 PM

Did a little finishing to make the bezel fit flush. I have a little more welding to do to fill some of the gaps I missed. Then I welded up the holes in the fender, and pulled the dent in the door out and welded up those holes. I put only one nut to hole the bezel and stuck the tail pipe in there to see how it will look from a distant. It's only held in with vacuum hose wedged in to hold it in place. When welded to the exhaust pipe it will fit perfect.
