How would you like to back that Suburban down your drive?
Glad to see you are still wearing the safety flip flops 
I just got home from "Northern Tool" with a 10 ton porta power and a air hose reel for my shop. Funny how spending money on tools makes you smile. |
Thank you Vince, makes sense to me.
So last night I had an hour after getting home from work.
Primed the first patch panel and proceeded.
Then moved the truck so I could work on both sides.
Proceeded to cut.
No going back now.
And then we had opened a can of worms, or maybe not.
Despite what it looks like, 2/3 of this section has strong steel in it, and a large hammer and sharp screwdriver could destroy the structure more.
From the underside there are chalk marks, I missed them when inspecting the truck.
Not that it would have stopped me.
Conversely, the passenger side looked perfectly fine
At this point, the truck is still not as bad as expected and this rust is a day job
A couple more odd shaped patch panels, and we will be in business.
I am still,happy with my purchase
