Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Hey Guyz...

Yesterday and part of today has been spent working on the Gas door modification... I also ordered my Fuel sender from LMC, so soon, very soon, I should be able to hop in twist the key and move this beast under it's own power...

I started off cutting the Fuel door from the Squarebody bed I acquired...Sorry Squarebody guys!!!

I then began the process of cleaning, repairing and installing on the Stepper's L/Stepside Fender... Here's a shot after removing the hoses and starting the cleaning process...

I know, it's opening to the rear, but on the donor, it was on the Passenger side and my tank fills on the Driver's side, so...

Spotted this one Saturday while working, shot this pic earlier today on a run into town... I think I've talked with this guy before, not sure though...
