Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
I really scored on that parts truck, the bonus was this door. I stripped it, welded up the extra mirror holes and ready for some primer.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
I used both, some welds you can get with a small drill bit, some you need the spot weld cutter. This roof panel was rust free , none around the edges at all. I really lucked out and I only had to drive for 15 mins to get it.

Its all about "beer can" chicken and a "rooter"! Pigs just happen to be an item that can be shot year round here! Can't wait to see how your build turns out!

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Popped off that piece of junk repop rocker and put the NOS one I bought on. I can't even state how much better original GM parts are, it actually fits. Also started to weld up a piece to the repop floor to make up the gap in the rocker. If left there would be a 1/2" hole to the inside of the rocker panel, why they didn't just make the piece properly is beyond me. Also found that when fixing holes in doors or whatever it maybe, it is easier to drill the spot out past where the metal is pooched up and just put a plug in there and weld it up.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Looks like you got the roof together, it's AMAZING how much quieter it is when you hit it with your hand on top!

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Before you started welding up the rocker in its final location you put the door on for mock up right?
Had ta ask. Rockers look great. |

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
looks really good, question did you use the nuts to hole down the skin when you welded it in, or are they just up there?? just wondering cause they look to find in the lip groove pretty good!

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
Frame porn, changed my valve covers over so they were on the correct side also. I ordered up an aluminized exhaust system so it should be here late this week and on it goes.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
That looks awesome. Hopefully I will have my frame looking similar by the end of the year.
