I'm gonna weld mine for sure, now that I have so much money in this thing. I have an old Lincoln stick welder, but I need to run the plug for it. I think I might be able to hook it up to the old storm shelter/shed power that got dug up. I've watched my dad's buddy weld in rockers and cab corners, but I have minimal welding experience, at least with thin material.

It was looking like patch panels are pretty pricey even for a diy

Maybe try cutting some good panels off a wreck at the yard?

Stopped over at the shop to grab my hitch to pull my boat this weekend. Mostly torn down, still need the inner panels removed and welded in. Not bad progress for being there only 5 days.

That’s a real good view of what salt on the roads does to a vehicle over time. Makes me glad again that that’s not used here except in a couple places.

That's what my buddy said, it's definitely on the table, idk if the pick and pulls in KC let you Sawzall out body panels, but it's definitely worth a shot

Been eyeballing this thing actually, lol. I just doubt it would end up being cheaper if I even got it to work

I'd think they'd be ok if it's something that'll go to the crusher anyway--like lower door sills, or 1/4 panels, but won't let you cut a lower panel off a good fender or door.

LOL!

For me, that would be a unicorn found.

I am willing to bet, that anything sitting in a yard anywhere in New England, has nothing left to cut!

It would probably still be on the road, if it was able to pass RMV inspections.

Back to normal.. and the spare fits in its well. Woohoo. Now I have a functional spare. Lol. Also got these clear turn lenses (Depo) yesterday, which should hopefully match my upcoming heads…
