well we got in a few hours on Sunday, Gary started painting Porterbuilt parts, while i tackled another "while you are at it job" my frame was on the rotisseree and upside down while i was sanding it, i started looking at all the holes in the bottom frame rails.....and you know what happened next , I welded them all up and started body working all of the "worked" spots on the frame like where i shave the power steering mounts, and so on ! anyway here are all of the pictures ! The goal is to have this frame back completely painted and assembled by next SUNDAY, motor/driveline/airride !! gonna be a lloooooooong week !

With today's fillers and a little sense when applying .....never really a problem..most of body fillers bad rap came because of those that applied them!!..And those that claim this car is restored with "NO fillers"??? .....well on 2nd thought I won't get started............jim

TOTAL BS...no filler....maybe if you have a $500,000 build ! LOL

**67cheby** · 07-16-2012, 02:40 PM

It doesnt have much filler just on the spots you see, i had a minitruck that i smoothed the complete frame on, and it had filler from front to back with air ride and a hydraulic tilt bed and i never had any issues with it and it was a daily driver !

funkytechmonkey · 07-16-2012, 03:12 PM

hydraulic tilt bed !!!! LOL GANGSTA!!! hahahaha I remember back in the day when those things use to be cool as a fan

**67cheby** · 07-16-2012, 03:25 PM

LOL, i am the guy that built all of them around my parts !!

I am the guy who put the 195/50-15 tires on the 15x10 KMC wheels for all the mini trucks while I was in so cal so it's my fault too.

seen a kids movie a long time ago where the truck had the bed with top on a sissor lift , it could lift the bed to sit higher than the cab , it could allso rotate like a merry go round
the truck in the movie was driving around with a guy in that bed feeling like he was in a tumbledryer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7ko1L9fl7Y&feature...

its in the clip around 6.00
kindah stupid but cool if you look at the fabrication of the stuff under the bed

**67cheby** · 07-16-2012, 06:01 PM

LOL, old skool !

JWall · 07-17-2012, 08:06 AM

Ahh good ol' Minitrucks... amazing how so many of us started out there.
