Re: PO has me PO'd
Sometimes newmetaltherapy is the only way to put that ole rust into remission. But it feels sooooo good to get rid of it.
Nice work. |

Re: PO has me PO'd
OK, here's the last step of disassembly. Take your time on the seams as you don't want to destroy the sheet metal underneath. The method that works best for me is as follows
Pry up what ever you can get and pull back with pliers, it helps if you can wedge a small screwdriver on the other side of the spotweld, now when you use your cutoff wheel it will grind both sides of the spot weld, top and bottom, try pulling some more and you should see movement, if not grind some more. After it breaks lose, you'll end up with a 1" pc., cut that off and start on the next one. It's sorta like opening an old ham can. Channel locks work best as they have a rolled head that is helpful in the cam action that is required. BTW you should be cutting, grinding in the same direction that your seam is running! Once you see blue metal, you are almost thru the first layer of metal. Give yourself plenty of light, so you can see exactly what you are cuttin' Here's some pics.         BTW, your seams should be cut flat, like a ribbon, as any angle on it will only give it more strenght and you don't want that!! As you can see in one of the closups, I had planned to just weld up the hole that looks like a sailboat, but after separating the seam the rust was hidden and it doesn't make sense not to fix it at this stage, as it will only bite you in arse a few years down the road. OK new parts are here from Goodmark, time to cut and fit, cut and fit .....

Re: PO has me PO'd
Yeah, they are one of my most fav. tools. Shop is a little small, but it has everything I need. 14'x18' Thanks
Here's some pics. of the flange bend. I've kept my tools to a minimum so anyone with basic hand tools can do it. Channel locks are great for making the flange bend

Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks Krue!! Better than putting it in body shop prison, if you can find one to do it. Actually it's good therapy for me, I enjoy taking a rusty POS and turning it into something usable. Someday it might even look as good as VT's green one!! Jim
Wait until you see what I do next, the purist"s are going to scream!
