It really stinks just working on this one day a week. Im ready for the truck to be usable. But...keep pluggin away when I can and it will get there
Its been raining all week. The side of my house is stupid soggy. I tried to get the truck out to work on it in the driveway again. No luck
Made it about 3' and the front end sunk. Back tires just spinning. SO.....I got to work on it in the mud today
I picked up a 4x8 1/8" sheet of diamond plate and dang near used the whole sheet today! Started with the bottom, then onto the 2 sides.
Also cut some filler plates to cover the square tube where I cut the old dove tail off.
I forgot to get a pic but I also drilled the holes in the trucks back crossmember and installed 4 1/2" bolts. I covered the c channel up that bolts on so I made sure to weld the nuts in place. The bolts can be removed from the back side pretty easy.
Got all the welding done.....I think. Have to double check. Probably should have waited til I could back the truck into the garage again. My welds turn out better without the wind blowing my shielding gas everywhere. But like I said......I want it done.
Its supposed to rain all week again and next weekend Im going to AZ for the NHRA National race so I wanted to get a quick coat of primer on. Ive been tarping my work but water is still creeping in a bit
So heres how its sitting as of now
I picked up some more lights. Wiring shouldnt be to big of a chore. Just have to extend what was there.
Also......Got this little gold nugget in the mail
It has the service manual for my motor on it!! Im pretty excited to have this.
MASSIVE THANK YOUS to DEMON76!!!
