ya, there's nothing like pick'in weld slag out of your skin. I had weld berries burn trough the tops of my shoes, down to the skin. Thats when I dance around in a deranged lookin jig. Then theres the odd molten treat that finds it's way down your pants..... oooh she's hot! :tongue3:

Well I started out wanting to remove the roof rack to repair the rust but ended up deleting it altogether. Two of the screws were stripped out, I proceeded to drill the heads off thinking that would do it. Nope the screws are frozen to the steel sleeves of the rack. By the time we got it off the tacks on the nuts in the roof were broken and the screws were cut.

F it, delete. I still have the ribs so I can go with a rack that clamps onto the gutters if its ever needed.

Not the best job in the world but it wont leak or rust....... for a while anyways lol.

This ones a 10 footer. Maybe even 15.

get a Thule or Yakima roof rack, they're way better anyway.

More of the same. 3 of 4 doors are done now, I left the drivers for last since itll be the biggest ass pain. Touched up the tailgate a little, did the ds rear door sill, did a couple spots around the rear sliding windows.......

This body work shit's gettin old, I want to do a rear bumper and sliders! Maybe a skid...... Some 1.5" stock just fell into my lap (along w some 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4" lol), just a little piece, but now I have something to make recovery pts for this proposed rear bumper

2 pics.

Did the ds door and it turned out to be a hornets nest. Holes everywhere. Had to patch it and redo the inner part of the door as well. Turned out ok. At least its not a fist sized orange abyss.

WTF??

Well, got up too late to go wheeling with any of the 10 groups goin out today so I hacked at the cruiser some more. Yes pete stopped by for a bit. Yes by hacked I mean hacked and theres more hacking to be done.

Cut off the oe hitch, cut off the oe x member/rear bumper, hacked about 3 inches off the frame, relocated the reciever to frame level, bolted it all in for now. I plan to incorporate some kind of tow hooks at the frame horns, and do some kind of wrap around corners. Oh and Im looking in to cutting the rear 1/4's up at the tape line in one of the pics.

weeeeeeeeeeee!

The dog posing. What a whore.

Planning on welding the tow hitch to the frame then making bolt on wings if all goes according to the "plan".

Feel free to critique.
