Fender fits last night. The rears Dan sent fit pretty darn nice.
Few pinholes to fix here and there.
The one front fender we received needed lots of love in all the wrong spots.
Found a pair of fronts in JJs bone yard in betrer them average shape we can work with.
We will build it if it comes.
Between last night and Monday night I finished fitting removables.
Drivers door lower hinges was jacked up!
Found a correct, dry, super straight replacement door in the pile out back. Little bit of pushing required to get the gaps right.
Had to steal an outer set hinges from a junk door for the pass side.
Both decklid hinges needed nuts welded to the backsides due to stripped threads in the hinge plate itself.
Welded and dressed a few cracks around the bottom edge of the decklid.
Made sure headlight fit the fenders. Pass side needed just a little love.
Rear apron had a couple good dents along the top edge.
Had to do a bit of stud pulling, slicing, hammer/dolly work, welding and grinding.
Drivers rear fender rust repair 90% done. Just a little grinding on the back side and a couple small spots to weld. Also shaved the overrider hole and the late model tail light mount hole.
Getting there. Just three more fenders to look over for needed rust repairs and then fix the bottom of the pass door.
We will build it if it comes.
Lovin the progress on this one… 😎 I think I can probably do the blasting!!!
Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎
Pat is doing the LAST bit of metal work on this rig… Pass door bottom sucked… So did the driver, but we found a good OG door outback…. 😎
