Re: Project 92 Ty begins...
OK, so I haven't updated in a while. WIth a 5 month old, and work...
Anyways, I have been working a couple hours everynight.
Here are some pics. I will be painting it over the next couple of months. I want to learn to paint, so I am taking a class at the local community college for $200, and I will get to paint it!
I just finished a class on welding there, so I have been practicing A LOT before I weld the holes on teh roof.
The rust is nothing major. I actually will be cutting out the rust, and welding in a new patch, no big deal.
I just bought a used Hobart 140! Nice find!

Hey 2500avalanche, where did you get those caster rollers that fit underneath your tires? I've got a feeling I'll need those in the future. Thanks in advance.

THanks man! Yeah, I was going to do a coat of epoxy , followed by a coat of 2k. As for welding, I only have the rack holes and a 2"x5" section near the rear window to repair, no other rust on the vehicle!

Yes they do. they make it difficult to move the vehicle. This is one place a little more money would pay off.

Re: Project 92 Ty begins...
Ok,
Well, next week the truck will be leaving to go get body work and paint. I will take pics when it leaves and the progress.
It has been about 3 years in teh waiting. The main reasons are a new child, life, and a new addition to our house which meant I was out of my house for about 8 months.
I just sold the boat, so the money from that goes into the truck. The shop is going to have a quick turn around with it, so I should get it back in august, and then I will start putting the interior, windows, and other items back into it.
The motor just needs tuned, and the normal things to change when a vehicle sits.
I have been waiting for this, and at points I didnt think it would happen, but this is great!
Thanks to the community!
