Re: Restoring Rusty
 

Thanks Hatzie that's what I was hoping to hear, as soon as my kid is up I will give them a try, probably best to have an extra set of hands to mount the passenger side door back on

looks like it's going to be 100° F today and for the next five days, Awesome... Not!

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

I plan on building racks similar to your so I can haul 20' lengths of steel. I will likely have an extension over the cab.

However, I would place the cross bar lower, so the posts stick up above the cross bar to help keep things UP and not fall down. Gives you something to tie stuff against. For Kayaks, though, it probably doesn't matter.

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

Take pics once you get the kayak up on it. I want to see it.

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

found some rust under the doors, which was expected, fortunately its just surface rust

so a short dance with the wire wheel followed by a paper towel acid bath and we will be ready for primer in no time

P.S. got a call from my buddy Lucifer he asked if I wanted to come down to his place to cool off today, (day 2 of over 100° F streak)

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

I would think Lucifer's place would be much hotter.

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

Do like progress!

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

That's what I was thinking too

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

simple ~ and as my buddy puts it "A Truck doing Truck Things!!!"

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

in the front I use the holes in the purches to hold the tie downs, in the rear I had to bolt back up the hooks I removed when I first got the truck, lol, but this time I mounted them underneath, these are temporary and will do for now, ie this trip

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

now back to the door hinges, here they are off the truck, I wasn't going to let one missing bushing prevent me from taking these pics after it went missing, of course I found it as soon as the pics were taken, ha ha

I can't believe how I loose things all the time, its as if there was someone hiding in my garage just pranking me all the time

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

and a mandatory old door hinge pin and old pushings along side a new pin and new bushings

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

Thank you, lots of work

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

and new bushes going in (not sure what these are made of - some orangy stuff) with a liberal coat of white lightning bacon grease

the top one slid it beautifully...

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

the bottom one was a bit shy

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

had to use a rat tail file to open up the hole a bit (GM gods forbid I had a proper sized drill bit) to have used that instead, and made guick job of it

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

hey, what ever, works for me

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

I say leave the one stripe and don't do another lol. Also if you want to save your doors spray some lubrication oil down the insides.

The doors normally rust from inside out because of bad window seals at the top.

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

Nice! I like the single stripe a lot.

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

I like seeing trucks doing what trucks do. Nice.

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

I will likely be shunned from Gregskis build and the forum for all eternity for posting these pictures of my daily driver but I will risk it we are like brothers Gregski!

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

Wow yup, I can barely tell our vehicles apart, ha ha. By the way how did you manage to swap an LS into that little Honda Cervix (wink wink)

Re: Restoring Rusty
 

removed the door striker pin (came out much easier than expected with that torques star screw thingie, I thought I was gonna strip it fer sure) so that it would not interfere with the door alignmentability

with it worn the way it be, it's time fer a new one soon
