Earl, what would you charge me to send one to Missouri? Looks great.

Well, being inspired by efabman's fabulous metalworking, I worked on my spare cab tonight for a while. I had to plug up a few small holes here and there so I decided to plug up the filler neck while I had the welder out. Well... suffice it to say I'm not efabman! It's plugged up, but I can assure you that you can tell it was once 2 pieces of metal. Nothing a thin coat of filler won't fix, but man... how does he do it?
Efabman, I need you to swing by this weekend for some metal work. I'll buy the beverages. maps.yahoo.com shows it to be a mere 852.3 miles (give or take). I figure you can do it in about 13 hours or so. Oh, and bring your tools ![]() Kenneth

efabman,
We are all humbled by your body work skills, so can you now show us where and how you hung your fuel tank? Did you put in a filler door too? That would be sweet to see from you. Thanks.

earl, you really need to make up a bunch of those blanks and sell them. as i see here it is a really desired item on this board. it will save alot of people alot of work, especially me, i can do it but really dont have the paitience for fabrication work. the rest of body work i can handle but dont like to try to make things like that. time is money for me and i dont have much time!
