Re: 49 3600, s10 swap, project boogie

that sucks, mines still strong, doesnt flex anyway. just the sheet is rotted and gone, the underlying structure is solid enough. the cab sits square on the pads now with the 1/4" spacer removed.

started today planning on making a tutorial on extracting a broken bolt with the mig welder, drill a little for penetration, use a nut just smaller than the bolt, mig weld and turn it out. but with the first drill bit the broken hood bolt spun right through and fell out the back side. yay?




got the hood and springs bolted up and lined up, looks gooooood, like one of those tremors overbite monsters.


measured a bit, and cut the core monunt, inners, and lower air director. you have to cut high because the power steering lines stick up so much.


I'll put it on tomorrow and get it all tacked and set. I would do it tonight but I turned around and walked my scalp right into the open overbite hood and knocked the whistle out of me.
