Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed

I cleaned up my threshold pieces and sprayed some more satin black Krylon on them. The old door seals are going to have to do for now so they got installed as well. I also spent a couple hours cleaning up and painting my battery tray. At least all of the oil coating it kept it from rusting.

I checked my local salvage yard for a better grill and came up empty, imagine that, so I decided to learn how to plastic weld. My grill was pretty busted up and was only being held in place with one screw. The top rail was in three pieces and both bottom outer tabs were broken off and gone. Surprisingly it worked out really well. I managed to completely repair the top rail. I had to re attach every vertical piece as well. I cut up my old headlight bezels for filler material and completely rebuilt the lower tabs.

It might not be pretty, but it gets the job done.
