Re: Big Red Dog

I feel ya man, we just finished up 3 days of straight snowfall, which put a fresh 10" on the ground....

I feel like I live in Narnia, where it is always winter, but never Christmas !!

Re: Big Red Dog

What I think is, it looks great.

I've read every word said here and I think you are getting some very positive feed back. I think it is well deserved.

looking good... i know what you're saying about trusting you with their vehicle. it does make a difference. sometimes the owner can be like a silent partner but i like the very active and involved owners myself and you guys seem to have the perfect working relationship.

Yeah, Troy is in charge of the body work. I'll do the rest. From my point of view everything looks good and I am looking forward to seeing it in person (Probably Monday evening, Troy). I am involved but just don't want to be "Old and in the Way" (dead head reference there). I sure don't have much to offer Troy except money and encouragement.

Heck, Troy, most people are glad to run out of gas.

Dave.

Re: Big Red Dog

Haha yea Dave my wife would love it... Lol! Ill be around about 4:30 or so an hopefully on the drivers side. If you want you can take the glass home with ya so I don't have to worry about breaking it. We will talk more when you come by. Still need a few items but they are last few things I'm going to work. If this weather would straighten up I could get some stuff done but 45 degrees isn't really comfortable...

Re: Big Red Dog

I'll be ready. I'd planned to be there around or after 5p so that should work. I want to get measurements to be sure I have enough lumber to build transport pallets. and pick your brain about ideas for them.

I know what you mean about the weather. We are (as I am sure you are) being hammered by rain this week (esp. right now).

Thanks man... I still got a long way to go though... It will be slow going once I get to the bodywork stage... I love spraying paint vs cutting out rust or making dust lol...

looks good Troy, and I agree spraying paint is a lot easier than beating and banging.

I know, I need to find somebody that likes that sanding crud that I can trust and then I can come in and make it look good! Plus the painting part takes a small percentage of time to do vs bodywork... Till I find that person I'll keep honing my skills lol!

Re: Big Red Dog

I had the opportunity to drop in on Troy Monday. See the work in person, and man what a sight. We talked for a couple of hours and I restocked the kitty a bit.

We discussed how to clean up the grill. Its too flimsy to sand blast. I suggested paint stripper. One could also use electrolysis. Lay down some 2 bys and drape black plastic over it to make a container and hook up a battery charger. Paint and rust gone in a day or so. Just a thought.

Dave.

Re: Big Red Dog

Parts came in and states on the drivers side. Cut out most of the rust and started fitting the lower dog leg, extended floor panel, rocker and footwell patches. Well got the floor section fit and tacke in set the footwell patch in place before final fitment and here's where I started to notice a problem. So I fit the rocker and oh yea, PROBLEM! The Taiwan stamped extended floor panel is 3/8" short on the bottom where the rocker spot welds to it!!! So now I get to call them and let them know but I'm sure they will do nothing (lmc) so I have to add the difference that is missing by welding a strip on and making it look factory... Never had any issues before but this is a good one so if anybody orders one of these extended floor pans with the inner rocker measure the back side drop! Should be 4" not 3-5/8... Picks of the progress coming.
