Then I welded on the patch panel using my gauge to set it in place.

So then I fabbed up my "B" pillar patches.
, http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/3743/dsc05174t.jpg, , And welded them in place. , , http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/7205/dsc05179a.jpg, , And then I finished prepping the eighth inch thick inner rocker panels, , , http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/7255/dsc05185q.jpg, , and welding the left one into place, which is where I ran out of time, so I'll probably weld the right one on in the next day or two. , , http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/4629/dsc05186h.jpg, http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/7311/dsc05187qr.jpg, http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/4637/dsc05188hs.jpg, http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/4590/dsc05191oe.jpg, , , :chevy: :gmc2: , , |

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Great work! That'll make it pretty stout too!

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Good idea with the 3D locating fixture. Nice work.

Nice job on the pillar patch, that hole jig looks like a much better deal than taking sloppy measurements and beating my head on the wall. Your B pillar looks pretty sweet too and it fit! unlike the taiwanese version. I haven't got my B pillar in yet maybe this weekend.

Ammo is getting too expensive for my .308 :lol: those rear curvy windows are $150 locally (same as 4dr wags) only one is missing, used ones have the classic yellow bubble effect between the panes though. I found a "new" supplier for those out in cali and they quoted me like $450 each? i think. they said they would consider shipping but no guarantee on breakage but they could bring some when they come back for another auto show. Nice job on the pillars ! |

Nice work with all the new metal Wade. Sorry for your bad experience with the trash can company. I have had my share of trouble with the parts they sell more than delivery issues.

Awesome build!

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
You can make alot of cool parts with a brake like that!
|
Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
That Magna Bend looks pretty sweet, Ive looked around at getting one for home use and that would be great, they have a similar chinese one at tractor supply. I use 135 ton hydraulic press brake at work but sometimes they get a little snarky about making personal projects.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
I'm digging that brake. I could sure use one of these in my shop.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Thanks for compliments on Magna Bend (and my brother thanks you). He also has a plasma cutter just in case I go completely nuts and start working on a total basket case!,, (Mcbassin) :lol:
Update on Tangerine,,,, I didn't get a whole lot done over the weekend,,,it turned out to be one of those weekends where everything I've been putting off finally catches up to me. I went in and worked on it tonight, I patched in and smoothed out those panel gaps at the corners of the windshield frame. (what a lot of work!!) Special props to "theastronaut" (board member), (frick'n mad skilled genius!!!) for some insight on this body work. And I repaired some rust in this area. I know that some of you guy's are getting anxious to see this cab merged with the floor/firewall, so am I. It's real tempting to put them together now that both inner rockers are in place, but now is the time to get all the tedious body work done while I can easily reach all these area's that need attention. Hang in there a little longer, I'll get this stuff knocked out pretty soon! ;) |

Side note; I sold my seat (I'll be using the Yukon seats) to a guy that works in the same building as I do.
, http://a.imageshack.us/img688/6430/dsc05209in.jpg, , He re-upholstered it and put it in this truck, it's for sale. , http://a.imageshack.us/img571/5933/dsc05242h.jpg, http://a.imageshack.us/img221/3849/dsc05239fvk.jpg, ' It has a small block that's been dyno'd at 485 h.p. and has a 5 speed racing trans. Pretty nice truck. ($11,995)(208-746-7040) |
Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Not a bad price from what I have been seeing.
