Using the original hook as a pattern, cut out hooks to weld on.

How many sets of hooks did you make? I'm in for one set.

Can do, they are custom, so how many holes/sins do you need to cover?

Can you make them in the shape of a quarter panel.

I love the technical tool being used I am so stealing those tricks especially line the reciprocating Chilean rig with all applied pressure and such. I can't believe how well it turned out and Claudia you need to get over it and squirt the whole thing with a fresh coat. The Patina's gotta go

Most of the recent work would have been more exciting in video, maybe? Something like; look the tape is going on, now seam sealer, lets watch it dry! Anyway lots of mundane work, but the results look good?

Taped the steps, applied a couple of coats of seam sealer, to reduce the shadow line and seal the gap.

 

[DSRTRDR]

the steps look much better in person

 

[Tools R Us]

The inside of the quarters were, cleaned, sanded/wire brushed/treated the rust, seam sealer on all gaps and over welds, a light coat of rubberised undercoat, then paint. Messy job, likely not perfect, but looks and should last much better than how it was?

 

[Tools R Us]

More seam sealer on the tailgate and all of the welded areas of the tub. Still need to primer the inside of the tailgate, it is reported to be getting carpet, not sure how much will be covered?

 

[Tools R Us]

Before and how it looks now comparison.

Happy with how the tailgate came out, it was pretty beat!

 

[cruiserjunkie]

Excellent work
