Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

[kev2809]

finally....i got my floor out lol. i grinded off all the heads on the bolts then punched them through. still have to cut off my tubs but you get the idea.

waiting for the notch now...

i decided to go ahead and fix the rust right behind the 3rd door...got it lined up and cut out. the piece i bought wasnt wide enough...so im gonna have to make a piece to fit i guess. this piece is from a blazer so it wasnt exactly a direct replacement but i got it cut and it fit pretty good.

here it is cut out...sprayed with rust preventative then rough tough enamel.


and here it is tacked in..


still have to fully weld it up, but its coming along. making the piece to fill that gap should be interesting...i really dont have anything to bend the metal to make the curve at the bottom, so well see what happens lol

Damn Kevin, Just a couple of inches short huh? I got an extra piece from an aftermarket patch panel. Would you like me to mail it to you?

Great job Kevin.
About that last piece, find a large telephone pole and wrap it around till you get the right shape. I know of a guy that made a dash that way.
