great work!
keep it up!

you cant really go oversize only on thickness
its a minimum square area isnt it?

so the b pillar plate has enough surface area..ive been going to make mine pretty soon and was wondering what size to do.
thanks for saving my time on google and this forum looking it up!
always hated that bolt head sticking outside the car
made sure i chopped my roof either side of that hole so i didnt have to fill it 

Thats a cool puller..  And i can see some flames appearing on the bonnet..   

the crab claws hahaha
only playing around ......no flames coming...

Geez mate, you move fast!  I had to replay it 3 times before my eyes adjusted 

What did you tack to the roof for the slide hammer to grab on to - are they pins that you buy?

Cheers,

John

just tacked 2.4 mm tig welding rod .
my friend just purchased a similar tool that spotwelds then slide hammer etc
it cost him over a 1000 bucks
i found a chuck from an old drill and saw the slide hammer.......
found some threads to screw the 2 together and i had this great little tool to pull stuff out where you cant get behind with hammer and dolly

Too good to be true of course. Just because it was in a Natrad box and had a fresh coat of paint. Still it’s better than the one I have, albeit that one is a three core. I gave him $40. Apology for the hijack Wayno.

its just banter cause we are onto the radiator section.
no hijack here.seems relevant to me....

Good progress. Scored a HR radiator off gumtree for my FB ute today. Recored but never used $80.

good score.

I had a HD with ht wheels as my first car. I got the offset changed to clear caliper. My rims cracked between the studs as well. Always thought  it was the offset.
Was probably the wheelnuts.....
Interesting......

thanks mate.running a hr radiator

Finally got the k frame and front inner skirt welded in. Big milestone for me. Something I've been putting off for a year or more. Glad it's done. Now I can move on to the fun stuff again

paint alone is expensive,these days .i think the guy that painted the lone star ute said it was 1000 bucks for 4 litres of clear...ppg though .that stuffs pricey

This bit had some rust. Sills will probably  come off to check for more.this is the worst rust ive found in the whole car so far.pretty lucky  i think.easy fix. Contemplating welding some rhs  into the sill to strengthen the chassis aswell.i 've been thinking of cutting off the sills to do this anyway.

Cut the sill open to check if I need to cut them off. Found this

Your right there Wayno Will just clean it up then

depends what tyre youre gonna run.
im gonna try and get some more guard clearance seeing how close i can get that inner to the quarter panel.
seeing as though i got my 1/4 panel off i can check pretty easy
i will get back to you on that one.
anway youre doing great with the build .keep it up!!!!
