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

Woke early, fed cats who decided they were not interested in what I put out, tried to go back to bed, ended up stripping bed, doing laundry, new bedding, you know, the stuff a single guy gets to do.
Then off to Asda to buy some stuff, beers included.
Back home by 10am and mowed the lawn, did some other odd jobs.

Popped around to the neighbour two houses down who is prepping his foundation work for a new extension to his house.
I needed some hose clamps (Jubilee clips) as I had lost the bulk tray I bought before.... yup, typical.

Thankfully Stuart is a biker and mechanic as well.



Then down to the garage to go look for steel for my new build, stashed behind it....

Oooops....

Jungle to be cleared first.



Hey Presto...!!!

No decent steel.



Back in the garage I looked at what I was soon to start addressing.

Speaker holes, cut in with an angry Badger by a Blind gorilla.

I had hoped to have some of Martin’s B pillar left to use as donor but it seems to not be the case.






Once done I dismantled the desk frame.



Cut n ground down some parts of it.

New Safety shoes in use too.



With the welder power lead, gas and power switches all being biased to one side, I decided to offset the gas bottle stand as well.



Harley as always.....

Security and QC.



Strange cat, fearless in the garage.


Trolley chassis completed, needs castors, and a top shelf to be created for welders and extras to lay on.

Will also add a bank of extension plugs for the grinders to run off.

Happy so far.




Bootfairs in the morning.
