Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside BILLYBOB

Up at Stupid - O - Clock after hitting bed after midnight.

Fortunately I had cut and done most of the grinding last night.

Welded the lot together to create the an external frame.



Then had to fill the hole in the centre..... step up old steel shelf stored in a corner for the last year.









Inbetween I walked up to the house next door but one to lift a door handle off a door in a skip.

Will make a small winder section up, and should then have a dummy switch for the side.



After making up the front side, I measured about 4 times and cut the cabinet down a bit, to get to 5 foot.
Also relocated the one hinge that I had cut off, which had me grinning like I had won a decent scratch card.



This cabinet is typically quite flimsy, so I added some strengthening on the bottom too.




After Martin popped around to show off with his new bonnet/hood from California, I called it a day.

I just fixed the front panel to the carcass with a load of rivets, will use some silicone to make it all waterproof.





That's it for today.
