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

XXL · 07-31-2002, 09:51 PM

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

minibike · 01-22-2003, 02:31 PM

I used a little bondo...not much, but it wasn't that smooth before the filler.

Blue68 · 01-22-2003, 06:50 PM

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.

Well Earl I guess you have forgot about me

GMC JUNKIE TOO · 01-22-2003, 10:48 PM

Thats some good work for a guy with 8 fingers LOL

*rayville body* · 01-22-2003, 10:51 PM

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!

chaptr2 · 01-23-2003, 04:04 PM

The work you do is simply amazing! I wish I had your skills.

>X< · 01-23-2003, 04:20 PM

Hutch · 01-24-2003, 08:40 PM

Well Done

ebfabman · 01-24-2003, 08:45 PM
