Completed the rough-repairs to the rear fenders today by welding
in patches for the missing attachment points.
Next up was the removal of the HEAVY DUTY, hand-made rear step-bumper:
Check this thing out....a lot of arc rods where used...
The original owner ALWAYS meant business: 3" bolts used to hold licence plate on....
Next up was to remove the angel iron that was welded around the rear box opening. It was set up to accept a sheet of plywood for a rear gate. My task is to attempt to return it to be able to accept a tailgate again.....
After going through several cut-off wheels - and ruining the bearings on one grinder - and getting no-where, I found this sweet 8" cutting disc and mounted it to the spare angle grinder.
After that little piece of hell (3 hours worth)....I decided to change the view and work on the E-rod
Removed 3 leafs from the rear spring perch suspension:
And just imagine it with these polished heads on it!
Thanks - as alwasy - for checking out the E-tek Rod Shop!
