I saw the ones online for sale but both my doors I ain’t gonna drop $300 bucks on metal I had a old fender I took some cuts off and welded the corners of the doors together, it’s coming out great. And it was free. Lol

Frame is being sand blasted & then I gotta reinforce the frame a bit with some welds and bolts then the body’s gotta go get sand blasted …. I didn’t wanna take this truck to the frame but here we are

I’m going to need a fuel tank, and the drivers floor pan …. Ugh

In other news, the motor is done. Everything is new, found a nice injector place in LA that rebuilt them for 20 bucks a pop. Polished them too.

Digging the tan valve cover, nice work.

Ran out of colors except that one lol looks nice tho

Decided to weld new steel in the rusty areas after the sand blast then going to reinforce and bolt it / weld it

 

[arnak]

Grinded the excess steel and put in thr 60 series frame reinforcement, I welded the shet in so it never goes anywhere forever gonna use POR 15 chassis black paint on it seal it shut for good

Fireproof tarp lol

Fireproof tarp lol

I like to live life on the edge, it’s blue right, lasers from the sky can’t get me

 

[arnak]

Just a bit of my shetty welding skills reinforced the front was rusted out too so I put new panel cutouts before painting it with POR 15 chassis black

So did you really buy the laser welder rust remover contraption?

So did you really buy the laser welder rust remover contraption?

I did, that peace of Chinesium didn’t work. Returned it for a full refund and went with a sand blaster

 

[arnak]

Finally getting the hang of it

 

[arnak]

I’m slowly discovering that there is more rust hidden inside than I originally imagined so I decided to cut off and weld in new metal

Looking great. That's a lot of work. I don't know if messed it but how did you get body off of frame? I need to do the same but don't have a lift.

So I bought cheap wheels and some wood, and Mickey moused my own little rollers on it, I jacked up the body with a regular car jack and installed the wheels higher on the body and lower on the frame so I can roll them around like a retard in my driveway … let me know if you want couple more photos but here you go

 

[Lucky1386]

Glad it wasn't too bad. Need to do that very soon on my rig.

 

[arnak]

The front I wasn’t too happy with the rust so I added a bit of extra metal never bothers anyone
Don’t judge my shetty welding
