Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

My truck has a huge, pulled dent in the passenger door, which has been repaired at least twice before.

The holes in there where it had been pulled before, and the grinding back of the metal on more than one occasion, has left it quite thin, so I had planned on cutting out and replacing the section with a piece of shaped metal.

During one of our Face Time chats ( don't you just love technology?) I mentioned this to Ta2Don over in Arkansas, and he came up with the brilliant idea of cutting the replacement section from his old door as he had bought two good doors for his truck.

While we were talking about it, I also mentioned the holes in my door where 6x9 speakers had been fitted before...........

Yesterday he was cutting up his old chassis which was bent beyond redemption with a plasma cutter, a job he seemed to enjoy tremendously, so while at it, he cut out the repair panels for my doors as well.


Door centre section cut out to replace creased, damaged section on mine.




Remember this ?






Speaker panel sections being cut out to cover 6x9 speaker holes that were hacked in before.



Spot welds drilled out.








All done and ready to be shipped out.

Thanks again Don, for making my life a whole lot easier.
