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

Went over to help Martin at 07.00 today with his new 150 litre compressor that needed to be moved through the house.

Then we sat for a few hours making up our final lists of parts for the trucks that we will be collecting from LMC Truck in Kansas around the 20th October.

Once we saw the cost, we were a bit shocked, mine was $548.00 and Martin's just under $300.00


My list...

Firstly when I got back home I needed to remove the ally patches someone had stuck over most of the large holes with Gorilla glue, then ground back to metal and welded up, all 36 of them.



After this I had to make a patch for the passenger floor.





Patch cut and made to fit. Then welded and ground back.

But how does this happen? Two wires stuck in the tip.





After the welding I went to make a coffee and got this pic from Nicola, probably a nicer place to be.




After this I marked, cut, fabricated and welded in a drivers will panel.






It is actually better than the photo implies.







With failing light, I had opened up this bit of rust and made a repair panel, but walked away as the light was not bright at all.




Tomorrow, Bootfair then carry on with the cab.
