Re: " Hot Wheels"

Both cabs would require rocker panel replacement as well as new support braces underneath.
After considering how to cover the rear cab I decided use the original door skins theses doors needed some work anyway but buying two new for the front would supply me with skins and less body work on lower doors. My local junk yard supplied me with two port windows my choice ended up being Nissan king cab windows. After lots of saws all blades and several brewskys I made them fit but would need some skin grafting to meet the factory curves.
So I welded cut and measured then cut and weld some more then added sheet metal until it started to look like it would work. Next added long hair glass for strength and then dynaglass for smother look.
Turns out I had to shave gutters so new roof line would create rain drop off.
The wing on back of cab was not part of the plan but needed for roof line to work turns out a few friends liked it.
