Yeah dude, drop by (and plzzzz help me sand lol)
List of stuff that's been happening:
Most of the ordered parts came in (ACDelco rack/bushings/power steering lines/blower motor/booster/proportioning valves/00+ tie rods. Delphi heater core. All oem subframe bushings/caps/spacers/bolts. 20' of red and black 4 gauge wire, remote terminals.)
Picked up the ALT/FPR brackets and the long tube brackets form the Bonehead (These guys are the best)
Dropped off the header box (ceramic satin), power steering subframe hard line (purple), and STB (purple)
Dropped off the fuel rail and fittings to be anodized
On the passenger side:
Cut and moved the battery relocation tray up a bit since it was hitting the bumper a little
Cut out the pinched seam above tire that keeps me from getting lower and welded it up
Cut out some rust and repaired
Cut the whole battery tray sheet metal out since it was a mess, welded in new
Welded in 4 major holes near battery tray plus a few smaller ones
Welded in half of the rad support holes
Kitty haired the whole battery area and sanded (ready for muddin)
Mudded the rad support
Undercoated the new battery tray metal, welded seam, rust repair
I still have a ****on of sanding left on the passenger side but I threw some rattle can primer on there to keep the bare metal covered. Water can get through but it's better than nothing.
This + the wiring will be the most labor/time intensive parts of the build. How I have the patience for this.. dunno.
