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

Next up, mark out the patches.



Cut out and tidy up.



In order to maximise fixing the new steel it was decided to drill 3mm holes and clean up the steel on both surfaces, than to puddle weld the patches in.





Craig held the steel in place for maximum contact and fit.





First series of puddle welds.



By 3.30 we shut shop as I had achieved all I wanted for the day.

And fire and beer sounded so much more interesting.

Packed tools etc away, pushed truck back and locked up.




MoJo Team.

JohnnyBravo, Samta22 and CraigRK chatting.



By 6pm the party was over as everyone had a fair distance to travel.





It’s really not enough to just say thank you, but that does sum it all up.

It was a great day to end a lovely weekend.

After the guys left, Joy came over for a couple of hours.

Thanks for checking in.

This week I will carry on with the welding and grinding.
