Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Looking good! I like the stake pocket box removal idea. Always something cool on this thread.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Did removing the stake pockets weaken the corners any that you could tell?

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
Sure did , what I did was weld the corner where they meet. Then I grinded the welds to a smooth transition, finished with metal glaze.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
It is rage gold. Premium quality filler and super easy to work with, avoid using cheap body filler its hard to mix and sand

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
thanks everyone, for the positive feedback. As for my eye its perfectly fine but i did get a scar from the cut but i dont mind it. Proof that this undertaking took blood sweat and tears. Its a good conversation starter everyone always asks what happened.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
having the front clip off i started work on the steering column hole out the fire wall. I doubled up for strength and had to build the bottom left corner to meet with the new flat surface
