sideshow_kustom Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Time to get real!!!! The bottom of the floor is a little more rusty than I like plus I want to be able to haul some heavy stuff down there so the stock rusty floor has to go!!!! I also don't like how the rear of the frame is not boxed in. If I plan on hauling my Bis-Kwik Wagon with this Wagon I got to know for a FACT that the hitch is going to stay put as well as the frame it is mounted to! I will box the frame in and the only way I can weld it all the way around was to remove that floor section any way's! Now for the next task! I do not want a hitch just hanging fron the frame rails and hanging under the rear bumper. SO I had an old hitch sitting around I cut it up just so I can kinda see what I need to fab up! I want the licence plate to flip up out of the way reviling the receiver hitch. Yep it's going through the bumper once done! I went ahead and removed the rear bumper cause I also will plate the very back of the frame just behind the rear bumper for extra support as well. While I have all of this off might as well fix them rust spots in the body! This went from a "I'm just going to drive it like it is" to a total fab job!

79 cutty Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Looking good. I have actually wrapped quite a few of those x frames for hydraulics and I will say if you are looking for strength they are pretty damn easy to wrap!! Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking! You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight. Quality takes time and dedication, but the end results more than pay for it.

sideshow_kustom Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Well I was going to be done for the day but was sitting around and got bored! SO last night I bought this material to see how it looked on the door panels I made. Dad wanted to get in on this action! Past few day's he's been helping me with it and I'm glad to cause it is getting him out of the house and active! Time to cut the holes in it and check it out I must say I LOVE it! Once I get the door jam's painted black it will look great in there!

sideshow_kustom Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 While I had the rear gate off Pig-Pen I noticed some cracked up bondo so I felt like now was the best time to do some further investigations on it. Let's just say I did NOT like what I found!!!! Need less to say I've been welding and repairing rust spot's. And that patch that was already in it I got to do some CRAFTY stuff to make it look right other then a bunch of Bondo!!!! While I was working on that my brother came over looking for a little work for some cash so I told him pull the hood off and could go ahead and sand it down for me as well since it had a crap load of surface rust on it. Lord this rabbit hole is getting deeper and deeper by the minuet! BUT after pulling 15 hours Saturday and 12 hours Sunday at work I FINALLY got around to working on it some more today! I got all the front of the hood welded up, done a coat of Bondo with fiberglass in it, sanded it down and then a thin coat of regular Bondo over it to fill in any low spot's I hit one side with some filler primmer just to see where I was at with it before I got the other side right. I HATE doing body work but I do what all I can to get a build done! I'll be back at it tomorrow after work again!!!

Yeah I kinda expected it to have some rust it came from up north and it's 54 years old! It's all repairable so that's a good thing just puts more work on me then I was ready for!

reedal Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 At least when you're done fixing everything you know it will be in working order. I may have to make a trip down your way next year sometime to get a demo of both wagons I know you're gonna get a little crazier with the pig-pen than you're letting on SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
