Simon, I have been cheering you on from Western PA and to be honest you have inspired me to just go for it. Great to see the car is moving on its on now!
For the crossmember with the exhaust hole cut out, were there body mount bolts on it or are the two pads just kind of sandwiched between the floor and the top of the crossmember? As far as templates I use poster board from the dollar store
I did do break lines on Also on my Chrysler drive line for my rat rod.A couple of months ago , but i've yet to be bothered to bleed them because I have to build the cab yet 😅😂
I love this.I was just trying to trade Paint for waterproof for the cab of my rat rod and I decided to post and take a break and hear I see somebody else also reusing stuff as always epic love this #Ratrodder4Life!!🎉❤😂
There's about 3 really good chop videos on RU-vid..and by "good" I mean they show how to minimise the amount of patching and welding you need to do. Don't beat yourself up...remember they are called lead sleads for a reason...lots of filler!😂
A good trick I have learned from an old timer on and the years I have welding on truck frames is to soak shop rags but not to wet and cover ALL lines around your working area. It really helps out alot!!
