ggdad1951 Posted March 22, 2021 Author Report Posted March 22, 2021 Top in fill all done and welded in. Just have to get a piece of 1/8" weld rod up there to be done. 4 Quote
ggdad1951 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Report Posted March 24, 2021 Passenger side basically done. Doors sitting naturally in place. 74642.mp4 5 Quote
ggdad1951 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Report Posted March 29, 2021 too many distractions this weekend to get to where I wanted to be...but getting there. 4 Quote
ggdad1951 Posted April 1, 2021 Author Report Posted April 1, 2021 Few steps further along. Thinking this is how the top "corner" will be. Gaps will all have to be "normailzed" with weld wire welded to the door edges at some point. Next steps will be to skin the doors and build up the inside. 5 Quote
ggdad1951 Posted May 3, 2021 Author Report Posted May 3, 2021 been a while...but made SOME progress this weekend. What took me 2 days should have taken 4 hours. Working a little slow after last weekend's highway speed collision we hobbled away from. 4 Quote
David A. Posted May 3, 2021 Report Posted May 3, 2021 Boy that looks like a hard hit. Glad you’re ok! Quote
John Rogers Posted May 3, 2021 Report Posted May 3, 2021 That was one heck of a collision. I'm glad that your ok. John Quote
Frank Elder Posted May 3, 2021 Report Posted May 3, 2021 If that would have been one of your old trucks you wouldn’t be posting on here anymore except for an OBIT. 1 Quote
ggdad1951 Posted May 4, 2021 Author Report Posted May 4, 2021 Thanks guys, a few hundredths of a second the wrong way and you'd be looking for a new moderator likely (I'm sure a few here wouldn't shed a tear) and this thread would just.....end. Quote
Los_Control Posted May 4, 2021 Report Posted May 4, 2021 WOW I missed that post, Just amazes me the construction of cars today. The safety that is built into them. I imagine if the same accident happened in one of our old cars/trucks We would be dead. I am glad you are ok & did not happen in a older vehicle ... not enough of them left as it is Nice work on the build Quote
Desotodav Posted May 6, 2021 Report Posted May 6, 2021 Rear doors look great mate. Glad to see you’re still moving forward. Also glad to see that you’re ok after the crash…. someone is looking over you. ?Might have been some of those pesky wanted parts requests in the wrong place if you weren’t here anymore ? Keep moving forward my forum brother? 1 Quote
ggdad1951 Posted May 6, 2021 Author Report Posted May 6, 2021 So another door made the ultimate sacrifice yesterday....but I like how the look is coming on this. I have too many doors laying around, might as well use them instead of them just sitting. 4 Quote
ggdad1951 Posted May 17, 2021 Author Report Posted May 17, 2021 Realized I forgot to post the driver side work from last week. Second time around is easier, and WAY faster. 2 Quote
