cool idea

So, the new house has been a real leisure time killer. It’s one thing after another... ugh! But anyway the project is still coming along. New idea for what I am doing with it. It is going to be slightly more modified than I originally planned. I have it stowed away in my shop/barn and have been...

kool mod

clean look, might have to attempt this myself

awesome!

dude, totally amazing!

So after a few monthys delay... I am ready to start back at it... moved in the new house and dumped way to much money into it already. But other news for you folks out there that need parts, I have one explorer up on the chopping block. So if you need parts, just let me know and we can work...

Obie... A rotisserie may be too much, I guess. Sure would be nice to have one though. I will have to check out the body cart you suggested. I am still shopping around trying to build my shop and increase the tools that I have. Figured since I have been working on project cars this long I...

FIND... They sure do!!! So, besides getting this thing stripped to the bare bones over the next couple of months (still have yet to move into my new house...) Yes I said it, it’s going to be a rotisserie job at this point... might as well right? So what body mods do you all think I should...

These are not welding gloves!!! Warm streak gave me a chance to get outside and work on the ride for a little while. Just playing around until I can get it in my own garage. then the real work will hopefully begin.

Well said... I may have similar plans in my future with mine obie... I will have to see what I can do when I get in my new place. It looks amazing! the undercarriage is in great shape and looks great! So whats been done so far with the body work? There is just been so much you have...

Well its been awhile.... so just an update, I bought the house and am about 45 days out from closing... I have never signed so much stuff in one sitting in my life! my entire life outside of work and school has been put on hold. I am doing so much as it is, not sure where I am finding the...

Hopefully today I am going to put an offer on my first house :)

So its been so cold, too cold. waiting for a little better weather to work on the explorer. Plus my project may have been derailed slightly. I will explain latter... :)

I was looking at under coating, Wurth SKS Stone Guard and SEM Pro-Tex Chip Guard and this stuff called Lizard Skin came up for a sound deadener. I wonder if its any good.

Well I am not sure where Roadrunner777 is these days but here goes a thread high-jacking I guess. I know I just got to keep up with practicing, put it down for to long and my welds got sloppy again. I am actually making a sand blaster right now and I am going to have to try and using the air to...

I need to figure out myself what I will be using, but for POR-15 Rust Preventive Paint and POR-CHASSISCOAT BLACK (two different products, not sure what's the difference is) would be something like $300 for a gallon of each.

Agreed, once there is rust it’s too late. That’s why we refer to it as "cancer" it’s progressive and very hard to stop. I would not suggest sanding it or for that matter much of anything. Doing it the right way is to cut it all out, but very expensive and for a good reason. You can try hitting...

If any one wants to check out the progress on it, a lot of body work to come. Right now I have the front clip pulled and the radiator support torn out.. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=377479

More Parts... and cheap too!

Thanks Find, good stuff to know about the YouTube tags, also sort of hard to post thing from a cell phone on the fly. Learn as you go right? Only thing I know about sound deadeners is you go for the large flat minimal structured panels. Trunk lids, Floor pans and doors etc. I have been...

So I just realized how out of practice I am with welding, ugh. That bottom plate I welded up the other day is riddled with pin hole spots I messed not to mention it just looks incredibly sloppy... Got to get back at it and step my game back up. Other then that I have decided to try painting the...

Looking really good and is in way better condition than mine. I have a long road ahead of me.

So I am thinking when I start the interior portion of this, I am probably going to be doing some of the following mods.... http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=240166 http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=241185&highlight=switch+led...

Foresight, for what ever reason should I ever have to come back through again? Plus this one here is for practice to something along the lines of a muscle car. Filling them verses welding with them as is, is something I considered. If I welded the support on using the holes it would be much...
