Scuba get that shizzy nizzy done! Ive seen many people get to that point and just lose motivation to finish.

 

looking good man.!!!

 

you got to love living in the desert being able to drive around with bear metal showing.

frickin around hear with the salt spray from the ocean and the dam humity you can watch the metal rust

 

96Red, Its actually howing a bit of surface rust, but I keep welding more and hitting it with the flapper wheel so its not a big deal..
Oh, sorry I havent gotten back to you about the hitch, ive had my hands full..

 

Here's the deal..

Last week I realized my first problem, One side of the tailgate wouldnt shut.
Couple days later I realized my second problem, the very rear part wasnt exactly square..

In this picture you can actually see how its not shut all the way..


So I got to some more measuring and realized its 13/16ths " shorter then the other side..

The other day I put in a little spacer peice at the bed rails and called it good till I had more time.
Meet Gappy :


On to Today

Gappy's long lost cousin Filler.


Done for the day.


This is what happens when you pack your cigarettes too much and your too busy grinding welds clean to stop and ash your cig..

 

Nice!!

lawl!

 

I know that feeling man. The truck looks great! Even with the tacked spacer. GOOD WORK!

 

Same here, leave some bare metal out in the sun for a day and it has surface rust



Nice cig scoob

Edit: oh hey are you gonna seal weld that bad boy?

 

Thanks CR..

Al, Yes of course..
It will all be welded up and will look like the same piece sooner or later, Cant wait to be done with this and start on the bondo..

 

no problem scuba take your time shot me a pm when ever, I am in no rush

 

updates?

 

I was waiting for that to happen..


Last week was the last time I've touched it, been way to busy with work and having fun at a friends house while her parents are away. Not to mention I'm 30 miles away from my welder and tools.
I have the whole weekend off this weekend, so Friday I'm gonna head home and grab everything I need and come back down here. Sat morning I'll be up bright and early busting ass on this thing, hoping to get the bondo done sat. evening then wheel Sunday.

So long story short, you'll have your updates this weekend

Stay tuned folks

 

Oh and I also plan on welding in some 2x4 steel on the very back of the frame this weekend too, and make it all purtty back there

 

This weekend???! What the hell am I suppose to do till then??!?




LOL!!!

 

Go play with your big pile?
