Build An Accidental Frame Off..................

[rkymtnflyfisher]

I have an old school M1 we could work on! Ought-6 style!
Looks like I am going to round up some grinding/cutting gear and dive in. Nothing left to do but do it!

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

I'll be on it the whole weekend probably, come on out!

I noticed they had covered the rear sill when I bought it, I just didn't know that they went to the extremes they did to cover it. It would have been easier to fix it than to rivet everything like they did.

As you said... Git-r-Dun!!

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

Probing the minefield to see what I'm in for!

 

[diogenese]

Ouch! That looks a bit messy

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

WTF over.

 

[diogenese]

Holy crap that's a lot of bog you are going to have to deal with

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

I don't even know what to say!

 

[TheHardWay]

Not sure what bog is, but that sure looks like cement to me (Portland?)

Sure feels like it too.

 

[diogenese]

Builders bog is polyester resin, I think you call it bondo?

 

[TheHardWay]

Wow, PO must have a mason. Better sharpen your chisel and get the ball pein!

 

[Solace in Solitude]

WTF over.

Where is that Ryan? I can't tell.

This just keeps getting worse!!

That is the drivers door sill, towards the rear. I don't know what happened to the pic, it is upside down for some reason.

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

I knew about the rear sill, nothing about the door sill!

That is the drivers door sill, towards the rear. I don't know what happened to the pic, it is upside down for some reason.

That's why I couldn't orient it! I hope it's better right side up...

It really sucks that you weren't informed beforehand...

 

[Solace in Solitude]

Do you have a local club that would mentor you in cleaning up this mess?

I'm not one to join clubs, but this mess would probably make me join...

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

Yeah but they are all in the DC area, over an hour away. I am looking to have the whole tub media blasted to see how bad everything is. I will go from there, I think the rear sill is pretty straight forward, most of the other trouble areas are flat surfaces. The toughest spot may be the drivers door sill, I may have to drop the money and find a prefab piece to weld in.

I've read really good things about Awl_TEQ's prices and quality... Just for grins, you might reach out and find out how much for the sills... I know he does rear sills... Not sure about door sills.
