Looks good Keith!!! Hey...I have a good buddy that's thinking about cutting the top off of his 80 and integrating some type of flip-pac camper top. Since you are sooooo good at massaging sheet metal and like doing it so much I was thinking you might want to take a project like this on! This could be your big chance to change professions!

Anybody we know?

hmmm. Who could it be?

I am starting to look for trial 80 to practice on. So if you know of a super cheap 80 (like a grand or less type cheap), let me know.

Doing a can back type thing on the 80?

Few pics of the finish...
It was much easier than I was bracing myself for. That 1x3 cap made a HUGE difference in how the welds came out. There was more backing to weld to that way, and thus virtually no burn through. PLUS, it made for a nice rounded/ beveled finish which was what I was after.

There are still those low spots where the weld bead is/ was. That is the stuff that the body work guy is gonna have to fill with some bondo to make it a really nice finished product.
You just cant work that too much with the grinder, or youll screw yourself.

Ive gotta go pack for the 45 run.

Talk to you all Sunday!

Have a fun safe weekend!
