Got some rot in the drivers rocker that is about to come out.

so when we gonna get a picture of the whole thing i wanna see what this baby looks like

RichW

Tat tat. Patients is a virtue. LOL. Jk. Certain parts I don't want shown yet because its NOT p-u-r-t-y. LOL. Like the front end. But it will be when we are done.

It's a chore to move the inner fender. There are three layers of metal to get thru by drilling out the spot welds. Cut the inner (third layer) out then shove the first two layers up in which gives approx 3-4 inches more clearance back into the cab. Plenty of clearance now for full turn with 33" tires in a GC. LOL.

This is where I cut the rot out to replace.

This is the patch that was put in after removing the rot. Just needs cleaned up a bit but it worked nicely.

I see you have the curse of the North there too.

Nice patchwork man. That came out great. I wouldn't expect anything else though from your fab work

RichW

Oh yeah. I got this jeep wrecked but I believe it has been wrecked multiple times. I've found body lines and bondo that is not supposed to be there nor was it done right hence the rust. LOL. It's getting a make over the right way now though.

RichW

Thanks buddy. I'm learning a lot from my Bro N Law.

RichW

Sooooo..... Last night was a huge hurdle that I've been concerned about and we cleared it without any problem. Where this jeep was rolled, the front end was all bent up. We managed to get everything pulled back out into place very good. Everything lines back up now. I didn't think it would go but it did. That's why nobody has seen good pics of the front end. LOL. Now we are rolling. I stopped yesterday and bought the primer. If all goes right, the Griffin will be in Primer in a little over a week. WhooHoo!!!

RichW

I spent ALL EVENING grinding welds yesterday. LOL. I'm caught up now though.
