My plans for replacing my rusty rear quarter panels

[Pete M]

 

 

I know it's not an original idea, but I decided that this will be the fix when the rust catches up to me (or I smash them up on the trail, whichever happens first). I think I'll just cut away the outer bedsides of my 88 and add a flat panel and support frame. Maybe with a diamond tread pattern on the flat panel. Maybe even aluminum. :brows:

But Pete's won't be.

 

 

I predict a hackjob of redneck porportions.

 

 

 

(No offense ment)

[Pete M]

No offense taken. :D I'm all about the clever ideas, not necessarily the high-zoot follow through. :yes:

Any idea when you might get around to doing this project? My 89 is already too far gone for anything else :cry:

[Pete M]

Not until the 90 has a drivetrain in it, and I fix the rear axle in the 88, and well, it might be a long time before I can do it. :( But I wanted to make my thoughts known, just incase it inspires someone else. :thumbsup:

In my head I figure it shouldn't be all that hard to do. :brows:

Hey Pete, you mean something like this? 8)

[Wanderin]

Ill probably get to it before you, if i get carried away with the sawsall i could always ask pingpong for advice :teehee:

[DirtyComanche]

You don't need his advice, all you need is the "If in doubt, cut it out" mantra, a 6-pack or two, and some spare blades.

Ive had Ol Rusty nine years now and I'm finding it hard to just start cuttin it up...even though its gettin a little easier to think about now that i bought another :D
