Re: Just want to drive it again
more.........
![]() ![]() Got the pass side rivits out. ![]() now the driver side ![]() ![]() ![]() Also put new door hing pins in it to try and straighten up the door. Got the doors on and they close but they still just aren't right. I don't know how the guys with high $$ paint jobs put doors on without scratching the crap out of everything and get them to work right. ![]() back together again. I had body parts all over the front yard and my neighboor asked if i was going to get it back together that day. It was a Sat. I said "I will tomorow." HAHAHAHA ![]() ![]() |

Re: Just want to drive it again
So, there was another prblem with the headers. The fist tube on the pass side hit the motor mount tower.... Just a bit making it not line up. I took a body dolly and hammer and hit them to put a dent in it. They fit now. It is very close though. Check it out.
![]() ![]() see... ![]() Now the truck just sits in my driveway again. Needs to be taged. Also I put some flows on it. They dump right under the midle of the cab. It is a temp. fix. Oh yeah, I can't spell.. Hope yall were able to follow along. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Just want to drive it again
You definitely did a good job R&Ring that front clip and pulling that manual tranny crossmember is always a hassle!

Re: Just want to drive it again

Re: Just want to drive it again
I would think I might. I really think I need to bang it in more so it is farther away. I think it is too close. I need someone to sit in it and gas it while I watch...... Gas it in gear and foot on brake.
I don't have the wheel wells in so I can look right at it. Buuuuuuut, I'm not sticking my head in there when someone does it. Truck might go with me in there. Maybe I should take a video of it so i'm not in there. Just my arm. Last edited by LOW DOUGH; 04-29-2009 at 01:20 PM. |
