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

Remember this....??



[URL=http://s294.photobucket.com/user/niknakpix/media/2015%20Continues/image.jpg3_zpsunna3fhw.jpg.html]

Came home tonight and had 90 minutes.

So grabbed an off cut shelf and dismantled the rocking horse.

Took the one flank off.......



Cut the welds along the seam.



Copied the rough outline with a Sharpie.

And went to the lawn as I was too lazy to make a propped sandbag to shape the steel on.



Kept on bashing.



Then cut out the bent section with the 1mm cutting disc, shaped it on the grinder, followed by more bending etc to make it fit the other side.

At this point Nicola came home from work and I sit shop as we were meeting up with friends for dinner and I needed a shower etc.

So tomorrow hopefully make the rest fit, then grind and tack weld followed by sand blasting and paint.



Got to be an improvement on the rusted away section.
