Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Remember the 100 dollar cabs I got? Well they came with doors too which I need to steal something off of. Measured 3 or 4 times on the drivers side only to cut it an eighth inch too short. DOH!!! Some surgeon I am. Passenger side I drilled out the spot welds and removed a good bit into the door. I'll just plug weld the holes at the bottom and butt weld at the top frame.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Bottoms of these doors were swiss cheese, so I didn't feel bad stealing the window frames. The Blue and white cab that they came off of was also totally gone on the bottom. Someone had repaired it with newspapers stuffed in the rockers with bondo liberally spread on top. Really nice, long lasting repair. The fun part was the small fire when the plasma cutter hit the newspaper layer. It was very helpful when I was cold that day. At least I could use the newspapers to date the repair, Oct 7, 1992.
Onto trying to weld air on the drivers rear window channel, yeah that's not gonna work. I had to cut and weld in the eighth that I was short. Wasting time, but it worked fine.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Green truck is now donating more sheet metal to the patient on the operating table. I'll be getting rid of my old inefficient heat and air system in favor of a new one, so a new firewall is in order.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Here is another opportunity for a solution. The burb roofline has a very slight pinch waist as it continues to the rear, a truck does not. So I encountered a little problem of the drip rails not meeting up just right. I decided the best way to attack this issue would be simply to slice off the drip edge, weld in a tiny strip of metal, and grind it all smooth. The drip rail gets a liquid caulk on top which also helps cover up where I welded the roof back down.

I really like this shot of the new and improved drip rail.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
More self etching primer. My goal was to be ready for block and prime before the summer began. I am almost current on my posts with where I actually am now. Yes, I have been leading a few of you on.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Tell me more about the blue stuff in the drip rail (also looks like its on the front passenger side below the window) is it seam sealer or some kind of special drip rail filler? Thanks! The roof has made some real progress too, when i first saw the pick showing the different slopes i was about mortafide.. over my head..

No, 2 suburban bodies with doors and very little rust. Both are very uncommon around our area. ![]()
